Triangulation Pillar, Binsey

The stone built Ordnance Survey triangulation pillar on the summit of Binsey. The village of Uldale is visible in the left background, the northern fells of the Lake District rise in the right background and the north Pennines form the far horizon. The flush bracket benchmark number S5707 on the south-southwest face of the pillar marks a height of 447.446m above sea level (Ordnance Datum Newlyn) levelled in 1952 (detail photograph NY2235 : Benchmark, Binsey). The triangulation pillar is still in use as an Ordnance Survey passive GPS station.

Silage Baling near to Binsey

Grass having been cut and dried (to one extent or another) and rolled into cylindrical bales is then gathered and wrapped in plastic sheeting by the clever piece of kit drawn by the tractor. Binsey is the hill in the background.

Summit area of Binsey

In addition to the trig point and cairn there's a shelter at the summit of this hill from beside which the photograph was taken. The highest of the distant peaks is Knott; other hills of the 'Northern Fells' surround it.
