Dist:0.6km south<br/>The River Went, little more than a stream at this point, begins just to the left of this shot with the confluence of Went Beck and Hessle Beck. It runs along the northern edge of the flat valley bottom, a flood plain which it is thought once, in geological time, probably served a much larger river. This view is from Flounders Hill down the slope known as Laurel Bank, although the field in the foreground, which was pasture up until the early 1970s, has long been in arable use.

Dist:0.6km east<br/>Founded in the 1700s by Mary Lowther as almshouses and a school for the "poor, elderly and children of Ackworth", the building fell into disrepair and then was severely damaged by fire in the 1970s. The building has now been restored and provides six dwellings with modern facilities for elderly people.
