Dist:0.2km<br/>A small village church that has been converted into a residence. Strangely there is no mention of the church in Pevsner's North Riding. [Buildings of England]

Dist:0.2km<br/>An ancient road way ran along in this dip before these fields were turned into parkland by the owners of Lartington Hall.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Farmland by Lartington from NZ018175. If you look closely, you can see the raised strips of land resulting from the strip farming of a few centuries ago.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Although most people walking from Lartington to Cat Castle will use the old railway track bed, there is also a footpath through the fields just west. While the railway remains level and crosses Gill Beck on a big embankment, the footpath drops down and crosses the beck by this well-built footbridge, which is almost the only way of recognising the path on the ground, as it is so little used as to leave no mark on the grass.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Some well defined ridge and furrow in parkland on the south side of the village.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The former station at Lartington, once served by trains travelling between Barnard castle and Tebay. Sheep now graze where the lines once ran.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Now pasture & parkland, the old field systems of ridge & furrow can clearly been seen.

Dist:0.5km<br/>The Green is a farm, not an area of grass in the village, and is the last house on the way out of Lartington on the north side of the road west towards the Battle Hill military range. A public footpath goes through the yard, passing the big sycamore. Beyond, it descends to Scur Beck, crosses it and emerges at the water treatment works.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Most of Lartington lies within the parkland of Lartington Hall Park, from which various buildings derive their names. Park Farm lies to the south of the village on the opposite side of the road from the Hall.

Dist:0.5km<br/>On the opposite side of the road from Lartington Hall Park, Park House is seen across a field from the entrance to Park Farm. As the map indicates, this is all part of the parkland, with many victorian exotic tree plantings, mostly the distinctive Sequoiadendron giganteum alongside the road and visible within the village. Perhaps the best specimen is this [[[1206558]]].

Dist:0.6km<br/>This stile over a drystone wall on the way from Lartington to The Rigg by Cat Castle has used an old stone gatepost as its top layer. Drystone wallers need to be fit, but this must have taken more than one person's muscle power (or, more likely, some machinery) to lift into place. It should stand up to years of wear, since this footpath shows almost no sign of regular use.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Missing railway bridge on the Bowes to Barnard Castle line. It would have been a metal girder bridge, and was presumably taken away for scrap when the line was dismantled.
