Mine spoil and trees above Arkengarthdale The mine spoil appears to be finally divided and might be crushed material, waste from the initial processing of ore once it was mined. The trees are in the upper part of Tottergill Pasture.
The valley of Shaw Beck is sunlit in the distance.

Old Boundary Marker at Fore Gill Gate Parish Boundary Marker on the east side of the minor road at Fore Gill Gate between Langthwaite and Feetham. Before 1866 this might have marked the boundary of Grinton and Arkengarthdate parishes, but now on the boundary of Arkengarthdale and Reeth, Fremington and Healaugh parishes.

Grouse butts on Reeth Low Moor Heather moors need to be managed, as when left heather grows into a dense mass of long woody stems that support very little wildlife, has no grazing or economic value, and is a serious fire risk. When managed, the result is patchwork effect we see in this area of the moor.  The oldest heather providing cover and the new shoots providing food both for birds and sheep. 

The butts stretch across the hillside and at this time of the year they provide shelter for ewes with their lambs.

Drystone wall near Raw Bank Drystone walls are built without mortar, and their stability – they can stand for 200 years – is due to the skill of the craftsmen who place rough boulders and angular stones together.

Many drystone walls were constructed as part of the enclosure of open grazing. They were especially useful in areas too exposed for hedgerows to survive and where stones were readily available.

Most drystone walls are wider at the base than at the crown, and are often capped with coping stones. A typical wall has two outer layers of large, flattish stones enclosing an inner ‘heart’ of smaller, rounder stones. Often it is reinforced with ‘through bands’ of even larger, flat stones which can also be used as stiles.

The very dryness of a wall makes it more likely to endure wind and frost and to act as shelter for livestock as well as a boundary.
