A view to the east near Whiteleld How green is the grass? There's got to be some advantage in suffering so much rainfall!

Southerly view from near Whitekeld I was greatly impressed by the solitude of this region. The tourist droves trip over themselves elsewhere but here is idyllic, unspoiled, and peaceful. However there seems to be a dearth of bird life in the region. On this terrain you'd expect to see a good head of Peewit and curlew to name a few. there were none.

How very English village! It's admirable how these small English hamlets maintain their charm. The quality of their public houses and general tidiness and cleanliness is a credit to them.

End of the line at Ullock This railway carriage has probably become some Englishman's castle. The embankment is his front garden complete with tunnel and it appears to be lovingly cared for.

Road approaching bridge over River Marron The road passes through the small village at Ullock, crossing the river; it then passes through a gap in an embankment where there once was a bridge carrying a railway route. The railway connection is reflected by the presence on the embankment of an old coach, a 1952 Pullman! It's available as a holiday let.
