Dick Close Pasture

Marshy area south of Fountains Fell The marsh is less wet than it normally would be, following a relatively dry spell of weather. Cotton grass seed heads are plentiful; the even more numerous yellow flowers are possibly spearworts. The broad ridge extends to the north where lie the higher areas of Fountains Fell.

Limestone pavement at edge of steepening ground The area of pavement reaches the edge of the slope with the rock exposure extending on to it but in a fragmented way and not as a crag - easily passed through and of no real height. Malham Tarn can be seen distantly.
