Disused quarry in Lunedale The striking slot of the disused Greengates Quarry is not far above the road through Lunedale. Although some of the spoil heaps of the excavation can be seen from the road the cavity is not visible as it's screened by the rising slope below it.

Grouse butt line in Rake Gill Although the location is named as a gill and it is a shallow valley, there's little evidence of any flowing water; the ground is however rather marshy. The butts are large and very solidly built.
