Dist:0.4km<br/>A sad ruin of a cottage with barn at the side of a bridleway that leads from Hollins Farm to Downholme Bridge. The name Hollins/Hollings refers to a place where holly trees grow. In the Dales, holly was often used as winter feed for cattle. Prickly!

Dist:0.4km<br/>The bridleway heads across grazing fields towards Hollins Farm which is about 1 mile away. Ewes and lambs graze this field.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Bushy Park is the farm on the right so it's a fair bet that these pasture fields down to the Swale belong to the farm. In the foreground is a store of replacement electricity poles.

Dist:0.6km<br/>It's always nice to get sunshine after enough overnight rain to bring the rivers up to a decent level. With the Grinton bridge gauge at 2'9", we had only taken an hour and twenty minutes, despite a few odd incidents, to get to this point, which is about halfway on the trip from Grinton to Richmond. This is at the upper end of an ideal level for trips with beginners - much higher and any swims can get longer than you'd like. Early winter is also good because temperatures are still at a pleasant level. Fast and exciting trips are to be had with snowmelt later in the season, but those conditions are less suited to either beginners or younger paddlers.
