All Saints Church, Burton in Lonsdale

The church was built between 1868 and 1876, and designed by the Lancaster partnership of Paley and Austin. People note that it was seems a large church for what is a small town, but this is because it was thought the railway would come to the village and its population would expand. Link

Old milestone

The second West Riding CC milestone north of the Lancashire/Yorkshire boundary found almost hidden in the undergrowth. Compare with SD6572 : Old Milestone by the A687, east of Bogg Bridge, Burton in Lonsdale Parish after it had been lifted and repainted in 2013.

The valley of the River Greta near Burton-in-Lonsdale

Waterside Pottery in the foreground. The clouded height of Ingleborough beyond. The Greta is formed when the Rivers Twiss and Doe combine at Ingleton but does not seem to have a valley named after it (eg Gretadale or Greta Valley). Oddly, Burton-in-Lonsdale is not actually in the valley of the Lune.

The valley of the Greta from Bentham Moor Road

Faccon Farm on the right and cloud-obscured Ingleborough beyond. The shallow u-shaped valley on the skyline is Chapel-le-Dale, source of the River Doe which combines with the Twiss at Ingleton to form the Greta.

Stepping stones, Raygill

The "stones" are actually cubes of concrete and two are worn away (and yes, my foot slipped in!). The access track to Raygill House (strictly private below the footpath according to a sign) can be glimpsed on the right.
