Old Nissen hut close to the river One of several huts and other brick buildings on what was once a military site close to the river. During WW2 this was a site where bridges were constructed along with training for various types of amphibious warfare. The site wasn't abandoned until much later - possibly the 1980's as it was still used by the Royal Engineers, based at Clotherholme barracks.

View towards Newby Hall A zoomed shot of Newby Hall's west front from some 600m further up river. The two mute swans appear to have avoided the bird flu that is currently sweeping the area. The hall is a Grade I listed building dating from the end of the 17th century.

Reed beds on the site of an old canal The footpath from the banks of the Ure towards the lower end of Bishop Monkton follows the side of an old waterway, now well choked with reeds and other vegetation. The first edition OS map of 1852 shows this as 'Bishop Monkton Canal', only about 1/2ml long and ending at The Anchor Inn, now a private house. With two mills at the eastern end of the village, this would have been a useful method of transporting material. Probably killed off by the arrival of the railway to the west of the village.

Approaching the final lock on the Ripon Canal Depending on which way you are going, this is either the last or first lock on the Ripon Canal, beyond which is the navigable section of the River Ure.
