New May Beck This photograph shows a view of the farm at New May Beck. The picture was taken from the minor road that runs between the B1416 (at Red Gate) and the car park at May Beck. The viewing direction was westerly, looking towards Pen Howe and Sleights Moor. Traffic on the A169 road can just be seen on the horizon - as can some of the electricity pylons that run near to the road on its east side.
