Dist:0.4km<br/>A badly ruined sheepfold in the middle of the moor. Some evidence of old peat cuttings nearby to the south east.

Dist:0.5km<br/>A footpath that forms a straight line appears on the map, but there is no evidence of it having ever existed on the ground. The walk over this moorland is a toil over thick difficult tussocks with the occasional boggy bit that never seems to change, begging the question "What am I doing here?". The tiny stand of trees on the skyline never gets any nearer - not until all hope has evaporated and all stamina drained.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Looking upstream about half a mile from the river's source at Washburn Head - near to its confluence with Tarn Gill

Dist:0.7km<br/>This looks downstream just over half a mile from the river's source at Washburn Head. It was hard work following the water course in this narrow valley choked with rocks, marsh, bracken and assorted vegetation.

Dist:0.9km<br/>At the extreme northern end of the large tract of moorland called Catherine or Katty White's Allotment stand these clumps of trees - almost in Greenhow. They are visible from the south at some considerable distance and act as a guide for those crossing the featureless moor.

Dist:1.0km southeast<br/>Quite an awkward little encounter trying to follow the river upstream to its source - a place seldom visited I warrant

Dist:1.0km southwest<br/>Showing about two thirds of the tarn. Situated about 390m asl About 3 miles NE of Appletreewick, Wharfedale. Accessed over very rough ground. Photo taken in May 2010. Distant fells include Simon's Seat fell.

Dist:1.1km west<br/>This looks over raw moorland to the north east towards Greenhow from close to Washburn Head

Dist:1.1km east<br/>Presumably named after a relation of Sir Thomas Woollaston White who owned the land around here in the 1800's. A relively featureless patch of moorland shown here with the boundary wall in the foreground, and the heights of Pockstones Moor in the background to break the monotony.

Dist:1.1km northwest<br/>Track across Craven Moor at Sun Side Allotment, with High Crag in the distance. The photo illustrates the difference in vegetation between limestone [foreground] and sandstones [background] where peat, heather and coarse grasses and sedges dominate.

Dist:1.2km west<br/>This stile takes the footpath between the B6265 and Forest Road (track) at Eller Edge Gate over this boundary wall slightly to the west of the source of the River Washburn. For those wishing to follow this path it is easy to follow north of this wall, but is barely discernable to the south.

Dist:1.2km northwest<br/>Jamie Mine was part of the Craven Moor Mines to the south of the present B6265. Two shafts were sunk here, whilst this building was most likely the boiler house.

Dist:1.3km northwest<br/>This relic of a long gone mining industry stands alone and stark on a lonely moor to the south of B6265, near Greenhow.
©Chris Heaton
Dist:1.3km north<br/>The square building in the middle surrounds No2 Shaft, sunk by Bradford Corporation Water Works abt 1900 as they drove the 3.5 mile long aqueduct tunnel under the hill. The depth to the tunnel from the surface is about 490 feet at this point
