The neck of the peninsula

The waters of the River Swale to the left and Cod Beck to the right, with the very narrow neck of land which extends out into a small peninsula behind the camera position. It is a long time since this photo was taken, so I wonder if the isthmus has survived numerous floods in the intervening years. In the background is the motte of the original Topcliffe Castle.

A168 near Topcliffe

Studying the map, the junction ahead is not really necessary, but it does enable travellers in the Dalton direction to avoid passing through Topcliffe. A bridleway crosses the bridge.
