Dist:0.1km<br/>Looking downhill along the A59 [left], with the old road to the right. This section leading east from Bolton Bridge used to be a winding and tortuous ascent, but the road was re-engineered in the 1970's. Still a hazardous road with sections of three lane, whilst North Yorkshire Police are often here waiting for speeders.

Dist:0.6km<br/>The swell of uneven ground part filling the valley bottom here is the result of a landslide or slope failure on the hillside behind. Note the line of low crags [High Combe] which define the edge of the landslip, which may have been caused by glacial meltwaters eroding the valley and destabilising the area above.
