Southern end of the Vale of York, looking south. Ferrybridge power station is occasionally visible through the trees. Large arable fields make for a monotonous landscape.

A64 Looking along the A64 towards York, between York and Tadcaster. The section at the side is a cycle route that runs along this stretch of the A64, making Tadcaster now easily accessible from York by bike, although not the most pleasant route.

Footpath to Tadcaster, re-instated by farmer

Although essentially the same view as the geograph first, this photograph taken on an early February day in morning sun has the benefit of much drier ground and some growth of crops. The re-instatement of the footpath after ploughing and sowing can clearly be seen.

Crops under Water near Rolling Bridge

Although the days before this photograph was taken were generally dry and sunny, heavy rain in the preceding weeks has water-logged the ground and has led to some fields with young arable crops becoming waterlogged in their lowest parts, pointing to drainage problems.
