Tiny clapper bridge above Tranthwaite Hall Two slabs of limestone span the un-named beck which runs along the eastern flank of Bell Hill. Sadly, it would appear that Himalayan balsam is starting to take hold in this stream course. I pulled up a few specimens near the ford and bridleway above but the amount just upstream would require a determined group effort to tackle now.
