Tow Top Farm A cattle farm; while I was slowly making my way up the hill opposite, the farmer made several trips with tractor and tanker to spread slurry from the farm on the surrounding fields. See <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6039464">SD9646 : Descending to Tow Top Farm</a> for a closer view of the farmhouse.

Disturbed pheasants I was about to take this view from the roadside into a conifer plantation when I startled a covey of pheasants that flew away noisily. At least five are in this view.

Heather moorland on Burnt Hill Heather growth is regularly controlled by burning; I wonder if that&#039;s how the hill got its name?

Gap in a wall on Burnt Hill A regular rectangular gap beneath the capstones, suggesting it&#039;s intentional, perhaps as a sheep creep.

Bench above Carleton Park The bench was ideally placed as I was looking for a lunch stop, and was in remarkable good condition - either recently installed or refurbished. The location in a corner of a wall shelters it from prevailing winds. There is no plaque or wording, only the symbol of the Yorkshire rose.

Ramshaw from below Burnt Hill The name is that of a ridge with a public footpath running along it. I guess the etymology and maybe pronunciation is rams&#039;haw rather than ram&#039;shaw since &#039;haw&#039; is a local name for a small hill.
