Threshfield

Height Laithe The public bridleway passes through a gate (on which the photographer is leaning) and heads off along the line of the wall towards the left of the view. A public footpath joins the bridleway over a stile just the far side of the stone barn, which, however, drops one directly in front of the cattle taking shelter from the bitter wind behind the ruins of a further wall. Since this seemed gratuitously confrontational (and though the cattle seemed laid back, the dog had it in mind to change that situation) we had skirted to the right of the barn to join the bridleway by the muddy tracks over the shoulder of the hillside on the right on the view, which seemed to make everyone's life more relaxed.

Looking to the settlement above Cow Close Wood The immediate foreground is a path leading vaguely from the public bridleway above Height Laithe towards Height House. The hill beyond is marked with two antiquities, a "Settlement" and a "Hut circle and enclosure". Presumably these are different stages of development of a prehistoric community on the limestone hilltop where there is plenty of stone for building, a good view, and good soil suitable for farming. The more modern farm buildings, having less need for defence, perhaps, favour a more sheltered location below the hill, though today they find themselves on the windward side in a gusty and bitter breeze.

Limestone boulders on Malham Moor Just west of the bridleway from Height Laithe towards Mastiles Lane, just after crossing Malham Moor Lane, a vague track diverges to loop back and rejoin the right of way. From a geographer's point of view, its main benefit is in reaching a position which is assuredly inside the same square as the view to the west over the higher parts of the moor.

Limestone Knoll on Malham Moor The public bridleway from Malham Moor Lane towards Mastiles Lane passes to the west of this limestone knoll which has a marked antiquity on the map, a "Homestead", smaller than a "Settlement" and perilously close to the edge of Threshfield Quarry, which is just over the horizon on the right of the photograph and has removed a huge chunk of the reef knoll. Further away, the cloud is just enveloping the top of Great Whernside beyond Wharfedale in the increasingly bitter westerly wind.
