Moorland with Arkleside Pasture

Arkleside Pasture is an area of enclosed, marginal farmland on the south side of Coverdale above the small settlement of Arkleside; it lies beyond the rough vegetation in the foreground and the groove of Arkleside Gill which can just be discerned in the image.

Fence with stile and footpath indicator

The fence descends from the ridge between Little Whernside and Dead Man's Hill going down beside Harkera Gill. The route of the public footpath indicated by the finger post follows a similar route. Pen Hill is the flat-topped feature in the distance.
