Strangely named, short side valley off Cottam Well Dale.
Path in Cottam Well Dale Pleasant walking in a typical Wolds dry valley. For much of the way along the dale one is accompanied by lines of small trees [hawthorn etc] along the fence line.

Old chalk pit Disused chalk pits are dotted around the Wolds country. This one is shown on first edition OS maps and appeared to have grown in size by the end of the 19th century.

Side valley off Garton Bottom Shallow side valley west of the road in Garton Bottom. To the left is the track, shown as a way open to pedestrians, cyclists, horse riders and possibly vehicles if it is classed as a 'BOAT'. The route is shown as 'York Road', even on modern maps and one suspects that this is an ancient way of some importance, being shown further east as a Roman Road heading all the way to Bridlington, where maybe the Romans went for a holiday.

Sheep pasture, Garton Bottom At this point a shallow side valley is carved into the hillside. The sheep appear to be more interested in the grass than the winter beet feed that has been left for them.

A long straight path The bridleway towards Cottam on a gentle ascent to the Wolds plateau. parts of this route form a Roman Road from York to Bridlington and the arrow straight nature of this section would suggest Roman origins.
