Bridleway (High Lane) Looking east back along the High Lane bridleway from where it ends at Ingham Whinn. From this point it turns south to become Keeper' Walk (another bridleway). It's a bit bumpy on a bike but perfectly legal.

Which way? Here the Marsh Lane bridleway splits. Left to Addlethorpe Wood and Sicklinghall; right towards Beck View Farm and Clap Gate. Either way, just follow the blue-topped posts. I turned right.

Bridleway to Spofforth This shot looks back up the last stretch of a 3-mile length of bridleway from Spofforth. The route is a mixture of double-track (like this), singletrack and indistinct lines alongside field boundaries. Great fun. View looking north from the minor road near Clap Gate.

Signpost at Spring Moor This signpost is at the crossroads of Spring Lane/Wharfe Lane/Moor Lane just to the north of Netherby. Note "Yorks WR" (West Riding of Yorkshire) on the top of the post. I think the land to the north of the River Wharfe hereabouts is now in North Yorkshire. The illegible arm of the signpost is pointing up Moor Lane to Barrowby.

Restoration This old building is next to Poplar House on the outskirts of Sicklinghall. On the 1940 map it seems to be labelled Hospital.

All Saints, Kirkby Overblow Is it medieval or Victorian? The answer is that the church is neither, having been mostly built around 1780 in a vaguely medieval style. Some 'improvements' of 1872 and a north transept which is mostly 14th century. Constructed with local sandstone.

The Star and Garter Kirkby Overblow has two pubs within 50m of each other in the village centre. This one is the Star and Garter, a warm and friendly pub currently offering lunches at £8.95 for 2 courses. Tempted?
Update July 2023:  There will be no well priced food at the Star and Garter for the forseable future as the pub has been closed for some time and some windows are boarded up. However there may be a little hope as some of the vegetation that was covering the building has gone, whilst there are builders fences at the back, suggesting that work might be in progress.

Walton Head Lane, Kirkby Overblow Junction of roads near the centre of Kirkby Overblow, an up-market commuter village just 3 miles to the south of Harrogate and about 12 miles north of Leeds. Most property in the village is of the 'desirable' type, whilst village streets tend to be lined with Audis and large 4X4's. A sturdy sandstone farmhouse of the 19th century is part hidden by the hedge on the right.
