Viaduct, Little Bytham The giant Great Northern Railway viaduct looms large in this small village, and still carries the main East Coast line. It appears to be built of blue engineering brick. I haven't found a date beyond that it is Victorian.

Mistletoe in lime trees; Steel's Riding, Grimsthorpe Park The track running west-east through the southern part of Grimsthorpe Park is lined with lime trees, heavily infested with mistletoe. The trees look rather sick - but I've only seen them in their leaf-free, winter months.
