Poultry Huts near the Wensleydale Railway The Wensleydale railway is a preserved railway in North Yorkshire. The line currently runs 22 miles (35 km) between Northallerton on the East Coast Main Line and Redmire. This makes the line the longest heritage railway in Great Britain. Occasional freight services and excursions travel the full length of the line, however regular passenger services currently only operate between Leeming Bar and Redmire, a distance of 16.5 miles (27 km). Formerly the line ran from Northallerton to Garsdale on the Settle-Carlisle Railway. However the track between Redmire and Garsdale was lifted and several bridges and viaducts were demolished in the past.

St Simon and St Jude Catholic Church, Ulshaw Bridge This isolated church struck me as unusual, by having a house joined onto it - the church almost looked like an annexe. This dates to the time when it was still "risky" to be a Roman Catholic - around 1800 churches were often "disguised" as houses. This one is disguised by hiding it behind the priest's house. The RC Church at Knaresborough was disguised as a large Georgian house.
