Coal Road, Cowgill A sign warns of a single track road ahead. It doesn't mention the gradient, shown on the map with a single arrow indicating 1:7 to 1:5. As I had to push my bicycle most of the way up, I suspect it was nearer the latter figure.

Artengill viaduct from Lea Yeat Brow A well known feature of the Settle-Carlisle line, dramatic seen close up, but this photo shows its setting in the landscape of Upper Dentdale. Unusually it is both a listed structure (grade II, list entry 1383817) and a scheduled monument (1007242).

Dentdale service reservoir Seen from above. There's no impounding reservoir in this dale, so it's either spring-fed, or treated water is pumped up the dale.
