Disused Quarry This quarry is so overgrown that people passing by on the bridleway near the top corner would only notice trees growing down a steep slope. At a lower level, cattle and sheep are free to wander over overgrown spoil heaps and into the quarry basin.

Ancient cobbled courtyard at Cutthorne This centuries old cobbled yard was part of an original network of tracks which connected all the farms locally. Heading south from this yard away from what is now the B3224 would lead to Thorne Lane (the Old Hare Path) and Pinn Lane. The buildings are a two storey C17th threshing barn and single storey C18th shippon.
