Driveway to Clifton Castle

There may have been a real castle on the site, 14th century or earlier, but the present "castle" was only built in 1806. Link

Footpath over North Field Hill

Attractive countryside to the north of Masham. The name of this low hill would suggest the site of an old medieval field.

Low Ellington

A tiny hamlet comprising one large farm and a few cottages at the end of a lane off the A6108 north of Masham. Local fields that remain as pasture show signs of earlier cultivation with ridge and furrow and plough strips. Maybe there was a larger village here once.

Sheep pasture at Low Ellington

Pleasant countryside to the north of Masham. A tiny stream, rather optimistically named 'Broad Beck', winds its way across the field.

Marfield Gravel Pits

Large sand and gravel quarry to the north of Masham. On this site glacial deposits in the Ure valley are being worked.

The Ure near Charlcot

The six miles or so of the Ure between Kilgram Bridge and Masham is little visited. There are no bridges or riverside roads, whilst the footpath on the right bank appears to be used infrequently. This is a scenic stretch of the river past woods and quiet pastures.
