Disturbed pheasants I was about to take this view from the roadside into a conifer plantation when I startled a covey of pheasants that flew away noisily. At least five are in this view.

Heather moorland on Burnt Hill Heather growth is regularly controlled by burning; I wonder if that's how the hill got its name?

Gap in a wall on Burnt Hill A regular rectangular gap beneath the capstones, suggesting it's intentional, perhaps as a sheep creep.

Bench above Carleton Park The bench was ideally placed as I was looking for a lunch stop, and was in remarkable good condition - either recently installed or refurbished. The location in a corner of a wall shelters it from prevailing winds.  There is no plaque or wording, only the symbol of the Yorkshire rose.

Ramshaw from below Burnt Hill The name is that of a ridge with a public footpath running along it. I guess the etymology and maybe pronunciation is rams'haw rather than ram'shaw since 'haw' is a local name for a small hill.

Pond at Carleton Park Carleton Park was once one of the deer parks of the Cliffords (Lords of Skipton); it is now a private estate offering grouse and pheasant shooting, but there are some public rights of way through it including one just to the left of the pond.
