Dist:0.2km<br/>A K6 type telephone box in the centre 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:0.2km<br/>A comfortable place to stay with good food and a couple of good local beers. I was only surprised there weren't more locals using it.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Two Chinook helicopters flew over low and noisily and the sheep barely reacted. Warcop firing ranges are just a few miles north and military fly pasts are quite common round these parts.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Herdwick, Swaledale and Rough Fell sheep have been bred for generations of the Cumbrian Fells, even back to early medieval times. They have their own hill territory or "heaf", to which they will always return. Many hill farmers have 'fell rights' on which to pasture sheep, cattle and occasionally ponies. The word "Herdwyck" meaning sheep pasture, is recorded in documents going back to the 12th century. Herdwick sheep are the most hardy of all Britain's breeds of hill sheep. The Swaledale sheep has proved itself to be a hardy sheep, well fitted to endure the hardships of exposed and high lying situations on which it thrives. Although the Rough Fell is little known nationwide it is enormously popular on its native mountain and moorland farms.
