Dist:0.2km<br/>This is the middle stone of the 3 and is a little way into the actual farmers field. Luckily the ground had dried and I could easily get across to stand by it - I am, in this photo, provided for scale.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The remaining two stones of the Devil's Arrows neolithic site are over the road and accessible by walking around the edge of the farmers field. This, from the corner of the field nearest the road (and the other stone, which is just behind me) shows the stones within the landscape.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Taken from the smallest of the 3 stones and looking back, you can just see the first stone, which is to the left of the 2nd (stone in the field) and between the 2 trees. It is thought that there were originally 5 stones in this neolithic arrangement but 2 have been destroyed or taken down.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The Devil's Arrows are 3 remaining single neolithic standing stones - originally there is thought to be have been 5. Two of the stones are over 22 ft tall. This one is on the other side of the road from the remaining two and accessible by climbing through a broken fence. Husband provided for scale.

Dist:0.7km<br/>The unusual sight of the River Ure completely iced over in early December 2010. This was the result of two weeks or more of sub zero temperatures including a record low for Yorkshire of -19C at nearby Topcliffe.
