Disused quarry by Raven Beck

A small working of soft red sandstone beside the beck. Most likely dating to Victorian times judging by the graffiti carved on the walls.

Wall fragment with stile

A curious feature close to the village of Renwick. A fence rises between fields beside which runs the route of a public footpath. The footpath crosses the barrier from one side to the other but at that point, and only there, the fencing is replaced by a short section of walling into which is built the stile.

Barley field, Viol Moor

There's a gradual rise from the Vale of Eden eastwards towards the North Pennine scarp, so at this point one is already at the 220m contour. From this crop field one looks over the vale towards the distant Lake District mountains with Blencathra in the centre of the frame.
