Stile on Coatflatt footpath

The stile seems quite substantial and robust, despite the adjacent wall being in a state of collapse - maybe undermined by those pesky moles ? The footpath itself is pretty faint on the ground but sticks to the flat grassy grazing land on the floodplain of Chapel Beck which flows on the left past the clump of conifers, on its way to meet the River Lune just before Tebay Bridge.

Chapel Beck flows past Coatflatt Mill

Chapel Beck flows from Orton to join the River Lune just above Tebay Bridge, but the eponymous chapel seems to have been away from any village, and adjacent to the ancient feature of Lady Well, just over a kilometre upstream of where the photographer was standing. The public footpath (which is to the right of the drystone wall over which the shot was taken and which is not visible) passes to the right of the Mill and continues only to the minor road just beyond it.

Rutted way into field

The field is on the east side of the B6261 as it approaches the village of Orton. The distant, high ground near to the centre of the image rises to Knott.

Banded pattern of grass in field

The banding seen in the image shows virtually its full extent - the rest of the field is recalled as being ordinary, unremarkable, short grass. The trees on the south side of the field are part of Howes Plantation.

One of a series of folds renovated by Andy Goldsworthy in Cumbria and southern Scotland Link

. In each fold there is an unusual feature (in this case it's a stone cone). Here is one in the nearby Howgill Fells with a pyramid SD6797 : Washfold, Red Gill and another cone NY6214 : Andy Goldsworthy's Pinfold Cone at Crosby Ravensworth just over the moors a few miles away.
