Tylas Barn Traditional stone built barn with a pantile roof. This is an old building which is named on the first edition OS map of 1853 as 'Tile House Barn', Tile House being the old name of the farm in the valley bottom. It's mid March and the sun is out, but cattle are still being fed within the barn and its yard.

Tylas Farm Tylas is a corruption of Tile House, and the farm is shown with the latter name on first edition OS maps of the mid 19th century. This was the site of a tile works belonging to Rievaulx Abbey in the middle ages, so presumably there were suitable deposits of clay nearby.

River Rye The Rye is one of the major rivers that drain the southern side of the North York Moors before eventually meandering across the Vale of Pickering to join the Derwent above Malton. Apart from gathering the various becks in upper Ryedale, the river also receives the considerable waters of the River Seph, which flows through Bilsdale.

Marshy ground near the River Rye Footpath number 25.127/009 runs along the bottom of a slope here and presents the walker with a few soggy areas to negotiate or avoid. After wet weather the farm road/bridleway further up the hillside is a better alternative.
