  • Allen Kirkbride Townhead Farm, Askrigg
    Allen Kirkbride Townhead Farm, Askrigg Allen Kirkbride is the third generation of his family to farm at Townhead. ‘My Grandfather took the farm in the late 1800’s, early 1900’s. He bought cattle throughout the Dales. My Father followed on, he did a little bit of dealing and carried on the farming.’ Allen stepped into the role and continued the dairy business. ‘I’m 68 and we’ve always done it! I was brought up with it, so it came as second nature.’ In his time, he made some changes, including the introduction of pasteurisation on the farm and an expansion of the milk delivery business beyond Askrigg, first to Bainbridge, and eventually supplying every small shop in Wensleydale and Swaledale. In mid 2017, just a month before this interview took place, Allen stopped delivering milk to doorsteps. ‘It was just too much for my son to take on, and carry on. You need family staff really, so we’ve retired from that and we now send our milk to the Creamery at Hawes to make the famous Wensleydale Cheese.’ The milk comes from the herd of Fresian/Holstein dairy cows that graze in fields around the farm for part of the year, and spend the wetter, colder months, in the farm’s sheds. ‘We’ve got a hundred head of cattle at the moment but a lot of them are young ones, heifers. We’re milking about fifty. As he always has done, Allen continues to milk twice a day, every day, beginning at around 5.30 in the morning.

In the late 19th Century members of the Royal Families of Europe, and MPs were regular visitors during the shooting season, staying at Wemmergill Hall (demolished in the 1980's). Sir Fredrick Milbank MP leased the shooting in the late 1860's when the landowner John Bowes, founder of the Bowes Museum, was living in Paris.

  • This Walk Description Is from Happyhiker.Co.Uk Addleborough
    This walk description is from happyhiker.co.uk Addleborough and Bainbridge Starting point and OS Grid reference Free car park at Thornton Rust (SD 972888) Ordnance Survey map OL30 Yorkshire Dales – Northern and Central area. Distance 7.2 miles Date of Walk 20 January 2016 Traffic light rating Introduction: If, when passing through Wensleydale, you have ever spotted a distinctive, flat topped hill with steep stone cliffs, the chances are that it will have been Addleborough. Its prominence, at 1575ft (480 metres) led to it being used as a lookout station by the Romans and before them, Bronze Age people buried a chieftain there beneath a stone cairn. Remains have been found to support all this. From its summit, there are great views all round, not least looking down to the pretty lake of Semer Water. A bonus of this walk is that it incorporates the lovely village of Bainbridge, not surprisingly on the River Bain, reputedly the shortest in Britain at two and a half miles in length. By the river is a huge Archimedes Screw installed in 2011 to generate hydro-electricity. The village has a very pretty centre and village green with stocks – so behave! Consequently, it is something of a “honeypot” village which can get very busy with visitors at peak periods. Refreshments can be obtained at the Rose and Crown Hotel – great pies! The walk follows a route over Access Land, so not all of it is marked on OS maps. However it is mostly clear on the ground. The walk is straightforward overall with just a short steep climb to the plateau.

  • On the Junction of the Silurian Rocks and Carboniferous Limestone On
    Downloaded from http://pygs.lyellcollection.org/ by guest on September 30, 2021 309 JUNCTION OF THE SILURIAN HOCKS WITH THE OVERLYING MOUNTAIN LIMESTONE, AT MOUGHTON FELL, IN RIBBL1S- DALE. BY THE EDITOR. (SEE PHOTOGRAPH.) THE photograph issued with this year's volume of proceedings, illustrates an important section exposed in the valley of the Bibble, nearly opposite the village of Horton. The Silurian rocks, composed of grits, slates and limestones, extend over a large area, bounded by the line of the Pennine Fault, running in a north and south direction, and that of the equally important series of Craven Faults which run eastward from Ingleton, their position being indicated by the precipitous Scars of GiggXeswick, Attermire, Malham, Yordale and Kilnsey. Bounded on the west and south by these Faults, the Silurian rocks underlie all the highest moun• tains in Yorkshire, forming a tolerably even base, with a general dip to the north-east. Sections exposing the junction of these rocks with the superincumbent Mountain Limestone may be seen beneath Whernside and Ingleborough, in the Ingleton and Dale Becks, and in Clapdale; underlying Cross Fell and Mickle Fell, they may be seen at High Cup Gill, and as shown by Mr. Dakyns, at the Pencil Mill, near Cronkley Scar. Penyghent, and the extensive Limestone Fells of Malham and Kilnsey also have a basement of Silurian Grits. Perhaps the finest section, showing the junction of the two formations, anywhere exposed, is the one chosen for the subject of this photograph. The Silurian Rocks have long been quarried, and are locally known as the Horton Flagstones; they are a bluish grey colour, rather coarse structure, and can be obtained of very large size.
