Gateway to Moor End Farm

Looking North across the cattle grid at the entrance to Moor End Farm. Blackhill House is visible in the background with Langbar Moor beyond. Note the contrast between the colour of the vegetation on either side of the dividing dry-stone wall.

Old Milestone Langbar Moor

This old stone ['Skipton 6 1/2 mls'] stands at the junction of 2 paths on a damp moor above Addingham. Probably the route of an old pack horse track from Skipton to Knaresborough.

The track fords the stream according to the map. However, the track has been built up. A pipe takes the stream beneath the track.

A line of tall heather runs into the distance to the left of the pool, missed by two different areas of burning.

Milestone by the old A59

The stone was once by the Skipton to Knaresborough turnpike, which later became the A59. Now marooned on one of the loops of old road.

Landslide by Kex Gill

The swell of uneven ground part filling the valley bottom here is the result of a landslide or slope failure on the hillside behind. Note the line of low crags [High Combe] which define the edge of the landslip, which may have been caused by glacial meltwaters eroding the valley and destabilising the area above.

Old and new roads

Looking downhill along the A59 [left], with the old road to the right. This section leading east from Bolton Bridge used to be a winding and tortuous ascent, but the road was re-engineered in the 1970's. Still a hazardous road with sections of three lane, whilst North Yorkshire Police are often here waiting for speeders.
