NY9414 : Sheepfold in Sled Dale

taken 3 years ago, 5 km W of Bowes, County Durham, England

Sheepfold in Sled Dale
Sheepfold in Sled Dale
Sled Dale seems very well supplied with sheepfolds, many in better condition than this one next to the estate track, and low winter light picks them out in the rather gently rolling landscape, as they are often placed on firmer, and therefore slightly raised, ground above the mostly peaty, boggy terrain. Beyond Deepdale Beck (which retains its name well upstream of Deepdale from which it derives its name) the ground climbs again to a long ridge, Race Yate Rigg, which forms the watershed with Baldersdale to the north.
