Swaledale footpath Part of what is an ancient route between Feetham and Healaugh contouring the hillside above the present B6270 which drops to the flood prone meadows by the Swale. At its eastern end this path heads for Barney Beck High Bridge, which also has medieval origins.

Barney Beck stepping stones This has always been a tricky crossing, the waters of Barney Beck having washed away stepping stones several times in the past. The latest effort by a YDNPA work team looks as though it could last a long time.

Birk Park from near Nova Scotia The name 'Birk' often appears in Yorkshire [Birk Crag at Harrogate, Birkenshaw etc] and refers to birch trees, usually the first coloniser of rough moorland. The view is SW across Swaledale towards Blea Barf, the fell on the far side of the valley.

Estate road below Beldow Hill Beldow Hill is a fairly vague location on the northern slope of High Carl and Gibbon Hill, which are themselves two minor features of the southern side of Swaledale. The road is heading eastwards towards a shooting hut where, on earlier visits the photographer has found a stuffed ram in one of the unlocked rooms! It was absent on this occasion.

Summit area of High Carl High Carl is a moorland hill top near to Apedale Head. The fence crosses close to the hill's highest point which may well be just beyond the fence line - OS mapping gives a spot height in that direction, west of the fence angle, at 555m. The low boundary stone is cut with a 'B' on the south side which is in view; there's the letter 'F' on the other side.
