Dist:0.3km<br/>A solitary horse was being followed round the field by four sheep. It could of course have easily outrun them, but they all seemed to be enjoying the game.

Dist:0.8km<br/>In 2010, the disused railway was cleared and restored for its gala reopening in November. Duke's lane was built to carry copper ore from the Duke of Devonshire's mines at Ecton to the smelter at Whiston.

Dist:0.9km<br/>This branch of the North Staffordshire Railway was built in the early 1900s to serve the limestone quarries at Caldon Low. Although it is currently disused, the track has not been removed and the line is technically only "mothballed". A passenger service also ran down a branch to Waterhouses, where it linked with the Manifold Light Railway. The house, to the left, is called Station House and is at the location of Winkhill Halt. The white tower in the background is the cement works at Cauldon Lowe.
