Surrender Smelt Mill, old chimney The ruin is that of the original chimney where the flue terminated having carried fumes from the lead smelting process in the Surrender Mill, below in the valley. The flue was extended at a later time to at least one other chimney higher on the moor.

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.

Bridge and steps at Cringley Bottom The bridge replaces one first erected some 12 years ago. On the far side are some 82 steps which make the ascent to the moor edge rather easier. There could be further improvements here using new funding, as the Coast to Coast path is now designated as an official long distance path.

Grouse butts above Bleaberry Gill I suspect these rather basic wooden butts are along the same line as some stone and turf butts that I photographed in 2012. If so, the butts appear to have gone further 'down market'.
