Old Milestone Langbar Moor This old stone ['Skipton 6 1/2 mls'] stands at the junction of 2 paths on a damp moor above Addingham. Probably the route of an old pack horse track from Skipton to Knaresborough.

Badger Hill Badger Hill is the name of this track that runs from Hill Top Farm to Badger Gate - an ancient drove road on the edge of Middleton Moor. As can be seen, after weeks of rain this green lane was not a joy to negotiate - rather more a squelchy, sloppy nightmare.
