Summer cloud over Foulstone Delf This moorland property is part of the Fitzwilliam-Wentworth Estates and is almost certainly connected with grouse shooting and rearing of game birds.

Entrance to "The Strines Inn" "The building that now houses The Strines Inn was originally a manor house built in 1275. Over the years it was extended and eventually converted into an inn in 1771." - copied from the pub's website.

Horse stone The Mortimer Road Turnpike first enacted in 1771, renewed 1792, failed by 1813.   Named after Hans Winthrop Mortimer, Lord of the Manor of Bamford.   It failed because it didn't make any money and didn't become an important route.   But it was very hilly!   Extra horses were needed and had to be paid for to help carts and carriages up very steep hills, so a stone such as this 'Take off' was placed at the top.   This one is about 30m north of the 16thC Strines Inn which is 1015ft above sea level.  
The stone is Grade II listed 1203771.

Top section of the Abbey Brook valley View upstream from the corner by Sheepfold Clough.  In the foreground is one of a couple of curious ridged mounds with dry channels between - the present streams have carved still deeper channels beyond.  An intriguing and memorable spot.
