Looking up the valley. Kingsdale Beck appears to have created a conventional flat-bottomed valley. Closer inspection reveals an extensive cave system. Whernside is in the background.

Footbridge, Kingsdale Beck

The beck is dry - not unusual in this limestone area. The wall running up the slope from the bridge has been rebuilt by national park volunteers. (Compare with SD7078 : Kingsdale Beck.)

Most of the flow today appears to be from the resurgence at Keld Head, 700m upstream. The beck is dry further upstream. Downstream, the beck becomes the River Twiss.

Old milestone

Another of the West Riding CC milestones set up in 1893/94 on this section of the Lancaster to Richmond route which was in the West Riding prior to 1974. It has succumbed to the Pennine weather and, although not Listed, it deserves repainting. The foundry name is in the long rectangle on the bevel. William Towler, Globe Foundry, Leeds.
