Fence with gate and sculpture

The gate is approached by a bridleway which joins an estate road beyond. Pedestrians can avoid opening the gate by using a stile that isn't obvious in the image - it passes through the sculpture going behind the left hand sheep and pillar.

Wall and fence east of Green Fell

A fence has run along the ridge line east-south-east from Green Fell to this point where a wall continues in the same direction. Unusually, from the same point there's a parallel fence close to the wall, some two or three metres from it. The fence was clearly put in place long after the wall and the wall is in good condition. The fence has been erected for some reason; it's hard to fathom what.

Stream draining Crooks O'Green Fell

The steeper slopes of Crook O'Green Fell are cut into deep V-shaped valleys by the various streams that drain northeastwards, but the valleys become much less incised below the break of slope. This makes it easier to cross each one if one is walking along the hillside heading southeast as I was, at the expense of the ground being a lot wetter underfoot. This particular stream is just above its confluence with a similar sized stream which is responsible for the dark-coloured face of a small landslip on the hillside above, and the combined waters then flow towards Easter Beck, to which they would originally have been tributary. However, a water race has been cut across the lower slopes, diverting at least some of the water from these streams towards Intake Hill above Middleton-in-Teesdale.

The white-painted property is named The Mill; it's in Teesdale just north of Newbiggin. Beyond is cultivated ground in the valley with moorland rising in the distance.

Barn in field across River Tees

The River Tees south-west from Newbiggin. The barn is composed of a variety of wood, and metal sheeting, at least some of it corrugated; it's partly open on its visible long side.
