Footbridge and ford over minor stream near Barningham A very substantial bridge for such a minor crossing! The stream seems to descend a shallow valley known as East Langbrough which is behind the camera position; its water flows onward to enter the River Greta.

Enclosure east of Cathaw Stoop Cathaw Stoop is a stone - boundary or direction giving - embedded into a wall beside a stile where a public footpath crosses into this enclosure. The path continues beside the wall on the left side of the 'field' which, unaccountably, is not classified as access land.

Water tank. Water tank on top of unnamed hill overlooking Dalton near Richmond, North Yorks. For years I've seen this from the A66 thinking it to be a large cairn of some significance, only to find this instead. Still, the views to the North and East are excellent.

Gates at entry to Barningham Park A public footpath enters Barningham Park at its east side through one of the gates here - presumably the less grand one! The monument mounted in the wall commemorates the building of the wall, the creation of the deer park and the planting of trees between 1857 and 1859. Also mentioned is the erection of a model farm in 1863. All of these works were 'Designed and Executed by Augustus Sussex Milbank'... bet he had some help!

Erect stone with waymark on Barningham Moor Barningham Moor lies to the west of Barningham village. The image was recorded during a walk attempting to follow a public bridleway across the moor; evidence of the route on the ground was scant and the stone seen here was thought to be a sign that we were on the way but a GPS reading showed that we were slightly to the north of it... or the reading was inaccurate. (Note: a similar discrepancy was discovered elsewhere along the route - <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3494497" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3494497">Link</a> .) Stang Forest lies in the distance.

Stone with waymark on Barningham Moor There are various rights of way on Barningham Moor; the one indicated by the waymark was being followed (more or less) with no actual route on the ground when the stone was come upon. A GPS receiver reading gave the stone location as being quite off the route as mapped - the second such discrepancy on the route - see <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3494279" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3494279">Link</a> The small cairn beside the stone is of a few rocks and a breeze block! The breeze block is used by the estate keeper(s) as a reservoir for 'grouse grit' - a common enough feature on heather moorland.

Strange stones on Barningham Moor Barningham Moor is well known for a large number of cup and ring marked stones, all hard to find and difficult to recognise. There are various bronze-age stone structures, too, but this one seems a lot more recent, since closer inspection reveals that it is based on two breeze blocks buried flush with the surface of the moor, and marked with what might once have been a small plywood sign, but which has no discernible writing now. Lettering isn't the only thing which is hardly discernible, since this is also about the point where the bridleway disappeared from under me - aerial photos show lots of tyre tracks randomly crossing the moor but no one obvious track for horses and pedestrians. It's all to do with grouse management, I believe, but I groused a lot at this point and fortunately, no-one came along trying to manage me !
