Trig point of Cosh Outside The trig point stands at 599m on a hill apparently unnamed, but with High Green Field Knott printed close by on OS maps; it's doubtful if that name is applied to the hill. The trig point is a few metres lower than the hill's actual high point which is given as 602m and lies over a kilometre away. Plover Hill and Pen-y-ghent are the lightly snowed hills in the distance.

The northern escarpment of Plover Hill The edge of the escarpment has a scatter of gritstone outcrops and makes a better spot for a break than the rather dull summit area of the hill. There is a fine view over the gulf of Foxup Moor to Cosh Outside with its small conifer copses and many more summits further north in the Yorkshire Dales and beyond.

Limestone outcrops by the Foxup Road The creators of the packhorse route between Ribblesdale and Littondale deliberately aligned their track to run along this layer of limestone thus ensuring firm and well-drained surfaces in the main. The sheep also like the better grazing that limestone affords.

The pitched path north of Plover Hill Since 2008 <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/996209" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/996209">Link</a> the public footpath has been restored <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1578315" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1578315">Link</a> by pitching large blocks on a diagonal line down the escarpment. This has nipped a potentially large erosion scar in the bud, an example of pre-emptive footpath maintenance by the National Park authority. The blocks are starting to weather in and the bare soil is grassing back over quite well.

Walled meadowland at Foxup These meadows are the last [or first] of the improved pastures at the head of Littondale, stretching along the valley of Cosh Beck. The series of field barns are marked on the map as Harrop Barns.
