Copse south of Murton Beck This stand of trees (which we would have called a copse where I grew up, but they are not coppiced, so whether the term would apply here I'm less sure) occupies the corner of a field south of Murton Beck, the northern edge of which is followed by the public footpath from the Flakebridge road towards Murton, upon which the photographer and his trusty but dawdling hound are standing as the daylight fades (again).

Footbridge over Murton Beck The public footpath west from Murton splits here with one way remaining on the north bank of Murton Beck to turn northwards shortly, heading for Brackenthwaite, whilst the footbridge carries the other branch across the beck, to head west to Shepherd's Cottage and Flakebridge (and the end of a minor road to Appleby).
