The Courtyard Dairy - fabulous cheese shop

At Austwick, near Settle, and very well worth a visit if you are in the area. We were recommended to it by our hotel chef - never seen such a selection of cheeses!

Gateway near Armitstead, Giggleswick

This gate is on a track to the farm, along the edge of a field, just the same as on the 1894 OS map. The 1851 six-inch map shows that the little wooded area to the right (partly hidden by a foreground tree in the image) was a sandstone quarry.

The railway past Armitstead, Giggleswick

One can imagine that the owner of Armitstead was not happy when the railway company constructed this railway past his house and farm. This was before 1850 as the railway is shown on the 1851 six-inch map, which also shows that the little wood on the right was a sandstone quarry.
