This looks to be comfortable winter quarters for the sheep, in a sheltered valley. The farmhouse is in the background.

Dist:0.2km<br/>In a gap between the trees a track goes up the hillside. It is marked on the 1972 Outdoor Leisure map, not as a right-of-way, and crossed the field in the foreground. A ford and footbridges over Otterburn Beck are also shown. It leads to a bridge over the railway, and was presumably made to give access to the fields beyond the railway.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The postbox (EviiR) is on a building just to the east of the bridge, and has been replaced by an EiiR box next to the bridge. The marker stone has WR on both faces, which could stand for West Riding and might be something to do with the bridge. See also [[892304]] for another one.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This looks newly built, and the planted trees made me wonder whether it is a 'Millennium green', but I did not see a sign to that effect.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Seen from the road bridge. The name is tautological because the hamlet has presumably been named after the "otter burn".
