In the diocese of Ripon and Leeds, in the parish of Kirkby Overblow with Sicklinghall, and next to the Star and Garter pub.

Bridleway (High Lane)

Looking east back along the High Lane bridleway from where it ends at Ingham Whinn. From this point it turns south to become Keeper' Walk (another bridleway). It's a bit bumpy on a bike but perfectly legal.

Sheep Pasture, Barrowby

Looking northeast across grazing land from where the Keepers' Walk bridleway meets the Marsh Lane bridleway near Lund head farm, Barrowby.

Lund Head Farm, Barrowby

View west from where the bridleways Marsh Lane and Keepers' Walk meet. Marsh Lane is the track in the foreground. Turn left onto it for a splendid half mile stretch of singletrack between hedgerows.

Which way?

Here the Marsh Lane bridleway splits. Left to Addlethorpe Wood and Sicklinghall; right towards Beck View Farm and Clap Gate. Either way, just follow the blue-topped posts. I turned right.

Bridleway to Spofforth

This shot looks back up the last stretch of a 3-mile length of bridleway from Spofforth. The route is a mixture of double-track (like this), singletrack and indistinct lines alongside field boundaries. Great fun. View looking north from the minor road near Clap Gate.

This caravan-cum-holiday chalet site is on the north bank of the River Wharfe in the secluded hamlet of Netherby.

Signpost at Spring Moor

This signpost is at the crossroads of Spring Lane/Wharfe Lane/Moor Lane just to the north of Netherby. Note "Yorks WR" (West Riding of Yorkshire) on the top of the post. I think the land to the north of the River Wharfe hereabouts is now in North Yorkshire. The illegible arm of the signpost is pointing up Moor Lane to Barrowby.

Low Barrowby Farm

Situated on Spring Lane between Netherby and the A61. Looking west towards the A61.

The Wharfe Valley, Kirkby Overblow

View west from Barrowby Lane that runs southeast along the ridge separating the Wharfe and Nidd watersheds. The foreground is representative of the sloping grazing pasture in this grid square.

Restoration

This old building is next to Poplar House on the outskirts of Sicklinghall. On the 1940 map it seems to be labelled Hospital.

The Wharfe below Harewood

A pleasant stretch of the River Wharfe a mile downstream from Harewood Bridge.

All Saints, Kirkby Overblow

Is it medieval or Victorian? The answer is that the church is neither, having been mostly built around 1780 in a vaguely medieval style. Some 'improvements' of 1872 and a north transept which is mostly 14th century. Constructed with local sandstone.

The Star and Garter

Kirkby Overblow has two pubs within 50m of each other in the village centre. This one is the Star and Garter, a warm and friendly pub currently offering lunches at £8.95 for 2 courses. Tempted? Update July 2023: There will be no well priced food at the Star and Garter for the forseable future as the pub has been closed for some time and some windows are boarded up. However there may be a little hope as some of the vegetation that was covering the building has gone, whilst there are builders fences at the back, suggesting that work might be in progress.

Gordon Hatton

The Shoulder of Mutton

Some 50m along the village street from the Star and Garter is the Shoulder of Mutton, another splendid village pub with a reputation for decent food.

Swindon Lane, Kirkby Overblow

Houses on Swindon Lane in the village centre. In medieval times Kirkby Overblow was a centre for iron ore smelting [the 'Overblow' may have connections with smelting], with local low grade ores being brought here from locations mainly west and north of the village. This industry appears to have ended by the beginning of the 15th century, and Kirkby became just another agricultural settlement - until the age of the commuter.
