Anley Crag Plantation is a picturesque woodland located in the county of Yorkshire, England. Spanning over a vast area, the plantation is known for its dense and diverse collection of trees, making it a haven for nature enthusiasts and hikers alike.

The woodland is primarily composed of deciduous trees such as oak, beech, and birch, interspersed with coniferous trees like pine and spruce.

Cocket Lane, Rathmell

This leads to Cocket Moss, and was probably used to drive farm animals onto the common pasture there. It is a public footpath, but there is a stream hidden amongst the rushes and grass. There are also patches of nettles and thistles to make walking the path quite an adventure. The northern wall (on the left) is the boundary between Giggleswick and Rathmell.

Cocket Lane

Looking on the map, Cocket Lane seemed to be a substantial track - unfortunately on the ground it is a most awkward place to walk. Generally boggy and squelchy, with a hidden stream down the middle and rough difficult ground this is a footpath to be avoided.

Settle, Albert Hill

This is a north -east facing wall of a property on Albert Hill. There is an indistinct benchmark cut into a right-hand cornerstone. It looks as if the front facia may have been painted white previously, and the paint still remains in the cut depressions on the stonework.

Cross-platform bridge at Settle

The platforms at Settle are linked by an ex-North British Railway footbridge that was formerly located at Drem station in East Lothian until electrification of the ECML made it redundant. It was then dismantled and re-erected here in 1993.

Settle Station

The previous train to Carlisle has long gone as have the passengers who disembarked here. The next is not due for some time so the platform is temporarily deserted but that situation won't last for long. The station buildings are Grade II listed Link
