Bracken Pot Wood

Kealcup Laithe The building has been very well looked after with all mod cons - guttering is not common on such buildings well away from its farm. It looks out across rough grazing below the public bridleway from Smearbottoms Lane to Bordley on the southern slopes of Kealcup Hill. The lone tree in the centre of the view is above  Heber Beck within New House Farm National Nature Reserve.

Bordley Farms The hamlet of Bordley consists mainly of two farms, Bordley Green farm (on the left) and Bordley House Farm (on the right). From the perspective of a walker passing by, the farms seem to exist to house two sets of dogs who each compete to drown out the other during one's approach and passage between the buildings. Chickens and a cockerel have no hesitation in joining the fray, so I'm sure none of the human occupants would have heard my own dog's attempts to compete. The muddy approach is by a public bridleway, which can be seen continuing between walls beyond the farms. These are by no means the only rights of way which converge here, there being another bridleway and four separate public footpaths, walkers thereupon no doubt offering many opportunities for canine choir practice.
