Moorland descending to pool The pool is on Barningham Moor and is seen looking downhill from the route of a bridleway of which there is little evidence on the ground. The distant high ground is the moorland ridge forming the watershed between Teesdale (this side) and Weardale, beyond.

Simple grouse butt close to Barningham The butt is one of a line south-west of the village and is just a section of stone wall. Many, more sophisticated butts are circular so as to enclose the party within and often sunken into the ground.

Beck, Ford, Footbridge and Aqueduct, Barningham Moor The white structure crossing the beck is a small plastic pipe aqueduct on wooden supports which takes water to a feed pond for the water garden at Barningham Park. The beck is unnamed on OS maps, one of a multitude of watercourses draining the moor.

Scale Knoll Gill Numerous small streams run off the moors into Scale Knoll Gill, the main source though comes from an unnamed tarn, created by digging out the peat to add diversity to the moorland ecosystem. The image looks up the course of the stream hidden within the moorland grasses towards the outlet from the tarn.

Bragg House Bragg House is an isolated property on the north side of Barningham Moor. Small, fenced enclosures such as that near to the camera are common on moorland, their purpose being to keep livestock away from dangerous locations such as bogs and mine shafts; it's not clear that there's any such threat in this case.

Small ruin in stream groove on Barningham Moor A view near to west from a hill road across the groove of Wash Beck where there's a small ruined structure, perhaps a sheep pen. Trees of Stang Forest are in the distance.

Sheep grazing beyond moorland groove The shallow groove is on Barningham Moor. The 'smudge' above the sheep looking like cloud is actually thin smoke being blown over from a moorland fire, presumably early heather burning. The trees forming an almost continuous band in the middle distance are in the Stang Forest.

Rudimentary ladder stile over wall This newly erected stile and others similar to it are in place not for walkers but for grouse shooting - there are equally simple shooting stances along the wall. One of the two buildings seen distantly across the moor is a shooting hut.

Ruins of Cowclose House The single-storey, mainly ruined building lies to the north of Barningham Moor. The southern end appears to be well-roofed and an archaeological survey reports it to be in use as a fishing shelter. That same report tells that the building is an example of a Yorkshire longhouse and that it's grade II listed - <span class="nowrap"><a title="https://www.ecus-archaeology.co.uk/cowclose-house-barningham-building-survey" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="https://www.ecus-archaeology.co.uk/cowclose-house-barningham-building-survey">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span> .
