Swinton scrapyard This is the sort of scene that one might expect to see at somewhere like Swinton in Greater Manchester, but not here in rural North Yorkshire. As the old saying goes - 'where there's muck, there's brass.'

Low Lane, Swinton A bridleway and farm track that heads across the low ground to the north of the village. Walking the whole length will bring you to the bank of the River Rye, where the right of way ends. What then, swim?
