Field north of minor road close to Friar Bank Wood The ploughed field is close to various small settlements, east of Pica for example; it's also north of the area of relatively low-level moorland at High Park. The notice on the gate declares that the land is private.

Small quarry beside Thief Gill The quarry and stream are on the north side of a minor road bounding the moorland area of High Park from where the ground slopes down quite steeply to an area named on OS maps as Dean Moor.

Lightly burned vegetation at High Park High Park is an area of moorland at a relatively low level - the camera position is at around 220 m. above sea level. An area of vegetation has been burned, presumably purposely and with good intent, in an attempt at some form of control. Similar burning was observed on nearby Lake District hills of the Blake Fell / Gavel Fell group. Periodic burning of heather is practised on moorland managed as grouse moor, but that's surely not what is going on here.

Larch trees in cleft of stream In late April the larches are in 'new leaf'. The cleft is that of a stream which according to OS mapping fades away as do others in the area; it's assumed that the waters somehow enter Dub Beck.
The western hills of the Lake District are seen hazily in the distance.

Embankments but no viaduct A section of the Cleator and Workington Junction Railway, built c.1879. It was mainly used for coal, limestone and iron ore traffic for the local industries. Most of the line was taken up in the 1960's; bridges, viaducts & even parts of the trackbed are now lost to history, but some parts of the old network are now cycle ways & footpaths.

St Michael's church entrance parapet This feels more like a castle wall than the entrance to a church! But there is a steep drop ahead, and so one can see the need to keep the parishioners from a premature meeting with their Maker.

St Michael's church sign St Michael's church stands between Arlecdon and Asby. I have not yet established the origin of the name "Crosslacon": it does not appear on any map that I have seen.

St Michael's church at Arlecdon St Michael's church actually stands around half a kilometre north of Arlecdon. Its notice board tells that it's part of the 'Team Ministry of Crosslacon' which includes this church and several others local to it. A war memorial stands to the right of the church and nearer to the camera.
