Dist:0.3km<br/>The quintessential upper Swaledale scene of green pastures, field barns and sheep happily caught in a brief patch of sun. The River Swale runs in a wooded gorge beyond with Beldi Hill above, the scene of much lead mining, once a mainstay of the local economy.

Dist:0.5km<br/>A K6 telephone box stands beside the narrow road that passes the main part of the village. In 1935, the Post Office commissioned a new kiosk from Sir Giles Gilbert Scott to celebrate the Jubilee of King George V. The K6 Jubilee Kiosk, as it is known, was similar to the K2 box, being made of cast iron and painted red but was 25% lighter in weight. By the end of the 1930s there were 20,000 K6 telephone boxes in use all over the UK.

Dist:0.5km<br/>A huge chunk of the cliff has collapsed taking much of a detached pinnacle with it. This most likely happened due to freeze/thaw during the hard winter of 2009/10 since it was intact in autumn 2009. The debris has reached the river - it must have made a huge noise?

Dist:0.5km<br/>A good flow of water over these two striking falls in Spring. Well coloured from its peaty origins. The people are a group of fungus hunters on a spring foray of the Yorkshire Naturalists' Union. Interesting to compare the trees to the right of the upper fall, with Gordon Hatton's photo 12 years later [[339877]] - they do not seem to have grown much.
