Witton Moor The moor from East Belt Plantation. Anyone tempted to wander in beware!  It is open access but I noticed a number of vicious looking contraptions like giant mousetraps with spikes on the throwing arm - anything like a stoat or fox caught in these things would die a slow agonising death, and wouldn't improve the walkers feet either.
