Bank Foot Cottages A book about the Rosedale railway and the iron ore mines suggests that this group of four cottages were abandoned after the closure of the railway in 1926, but they were eventually sold off and renovated. In a very quiet spot with the only access being along the old track bed.

Wetland area, Greenhow Plantation This small wetland area appears to be part of a man made scheme, possibly associated with the nearby outdoor centre. Apart from a few non native conifers, the area is dominated by birch and alder, the latter being happy with wet conditions.
