Coultermire Plantation is a sprawling woodland located in the picturesque county of Yorkshire, England. Stretching over an area of several hundred acres, this enchanting forest is renowned for its natural beauty and rich biodiversity. The plantation is situated near the town of Wood, nestled amidst the rolling hills and meandering streams that characterize the Yorkshire landscape.

Coultermire Plantation boasts a diverse range of tree species, including oak, beech, birch, and pine, which form a dense canopy that provides a haven for countless wildlife species. The forest floor is adorned with a vibrant carpet of wildflowers, further enhancing its allure. Nature enthusiasts and hikers frequent the plantation, taking advantage of the many walking trails that wind their way through the woodland.

The plantation is not only a haven for wildlife but also a valuable ecological resource. It serves as a carbon sink, absorbing large amounts of carbon dioxide and helping to mitigate climate change. Additionally, the forest acts as a natural water filter, purifying rainwater as it percolates through the soil and replenishing underground aquifers.

Coultermire Plantation is also steeped in history. It is believed to have been in existence for several centuries, and remnants of ancient structures can still be found within its boundaries. The plantation has witnessed generations of landowners and workers, each leaving their mark on the landscape.

Overall, Coultermire Plantation is a treasured natural and historical gem in Yorkshire, attracting visitors from near and far who seek solace, adventure, and a deeper connection with the natural world.

Low Ellington A tiny hamlet comprising one large farm and a few cottages at the end of a lane off the A6108 north of Masham. Local fields that remain as pasture show signs of earlier cultivation with ridge and furrow and plough strips. Maybe there was a larger village here once.

Sheep pasture at Low Ellington Pleasant countryside to the north of Masham. A tiny stream, rather optimistically named 'Broad Beck', winds its way across the field.

The Ure near Charlcot The six miles or so of the Ure between Kilgram Bridge and Masham is little visited. There are no bridges or riverside roads, whilst the footpath on the right bank appears to be used infrequently. This is a scenic stretch of the river past woods and quiet pastures.

Double lime kiln [2] Another view of this unusual lime kiln. The kiln is also unusual as there is no outcrop of limestone in the vicinity, the nearest being the ridge of Magnesian limestone a mile or more to the east and on the other side of the river. The material for this kiln seems to have come entirely from the glacial debris on which the kiln stands. This low hill is full of carboniferous limestone erratics, some of which are still in a handy pile close to the kiln.
