Hilltop pasture above Stoney Gill Hole Near level pasture on the hilltop, but the fence to the left is just above a very steep drop into the narrow little valley that is Stoney Gill Hole. The three ridges of Hawnby Hill, Easterside and Roppa Edge in the distance.

View over Thorodale Beyond the wall the ground plunges steeply down into the well wooded valley of Thorodale where the hillsides echoed with the sound of gunfire from pheasant shooting [no Geograph contributors were harmed]. Mount Pleasant Farm is visible near the centre of the photo, whilst the northern prow of Hawnby Hill is prominent to the right.

Old quarries on the edge of the moor Shown on first edition OS maps as limestone quarries with a limekiln to one side. The kiln has long since disappeared whilst the shallow quarries are grassed over. The geology is confusing here as there are several places on the moor that were once quarried for limestone, yet the ground vegetation is largely heather, which is associated with acid soils. The geological map shows the surface geology as mostly limestone of the Hambleton Oolite Member, but close by is the Lower Calcareous Grit, which is a more acid sandstone.

Slopes of Eskerdale Steep slopes on the NW side of Eskerdale, an area neglected for agriculture and much colonised by birch and oak. At one time this must have been farmed and old maps show Eskerdale House which would have been somewhere within this shot. I took several photos here and by magnifying the results I believe the house must have been left of centre above a patch of pale grassland. A few traces of old walls appear around a mature tree in this patch.

Steep path into Eskerdale The line of an old path dropping into Eskerdale can be seen crossing the photo diagonally left to right. The path is within access land but ends up in woodland outside the access area. Still worthy of exploration at some time.
