Grimston Brow

The scarp slope of the chalk Wolds, here looking north along the line of the minor road heading towards North Grimston. The hillside here rises just 60m or so and the road ascends with just a single arrow marked on the map.

Looking north of east from Luddith Road near the top of Grimston Brow towards the plantations on Cow Cliff and the wold top beyond.

Field edge above Grimston Brow

Close to the edge of the chalk Wolds and with a pleasant view towards Grimston Hill where the B1253 road to Sledmere can be glimpsed to the right of the woodland.

Track to Wharram Grange Farm

The farm track is within this square, but the farm buildings are just into the adjacent square. Odd that the maps shows the area around here as Wharram Grange without a reference to any particular building. Old Maps from the 19thC show the farm as Wharram Grange as well as the area around it.
