Gateway to Moor End Farm

Looking North across the cattle grid at the entrance to Moor End Farm. Blackhill House is visible in the background with Langbar Moor beyond. Note the contrast between the colour of the vegetation on either side of the dividing dry-stone wall.

Old Milestone Langbar Moor

This old stone ['Skipton 6 1/2 mls'] stands at the junction of 2 paths on a damp moor above Addingham. Probably the route of an old pack horse track from Skipton to Knaresborough.

Ling Park Trig Pillar

Situated at 245 metres above sea level on the back road between Ilkley and Beamsley. This would have been a very pleasant location had it not been for the rubbish strewn around and the graffiti.
