Laxey River at the bottom of the valley, with various walls and a track / very minor road visible on the far fellside.

Pollarded trees next to a small beck in the Lake District. Some of the Herdwicks are / have been browsing the bark off the cut branches. The wall nearest the beck needs rebuilding as it appears partially collapsed - some of the other dry stone walls appear to be "clearance" walls - that is, used as a safe place to put stones picked off the fields.

The bridge over Wasdale beck, just before it empties into Wastwater via a deposition delta. The beck banks have been walled in to prevent spate conditions undermining the bridge, and the bridge itself has been repointed to protect it, originally, I think the "wing walls" were likely to have been built without mortar.

There is definitely a lot of stonework in this tower.

From the bridge over the moat, watch out for the drop into the water - hence the fence ! Walk through under the archway and that brings you out into the "Inner Court" of Caister Castle. Note the thick walls, brick-faced with stone quoins. The latter were largely imported from Caen, Normandy.

The patterned brickwork above the village Post Office in Horning.
