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 Appersett To
    This walk description is from happyhiker.co.uk Appersett to Mossdale and Cotterdale Starting point and OS Grid reference Appersett – large roadside rough lay-by (SD 858907) Ordnance Survey map OL 19 – Howgill Fells and Upper Eden Valley Distance 9.1 miles Traffic light rating Introduction: I imagine at least 90% of visitors to the Yorkshire Dales know of Airedale, Wharfedale, Wensleydale and Swaledale. However mention Mossdale and Cotterdale and I guess many brows would furrow. Each form an arm at the north-west end of Wensleydale. This extremely attractive walk explores both. It takes you past the impressive waterfalls of Cotter Force and Mossdale Beck before arriving at the unbelievably pretty and tranquil hamlet of Cotterdale, in a dead end (by road) valley, which time looks to have forgotten . It then climbs the lower slopes of Great Shunner Fell to reveal stunning views of Cotterdale and Wensleydale and long distance glimpses of Ingleborough. The walk starts from the small, rather plain hamlet of Appersett, which lies a mile west of Hawes on the A684. There is a large rough lay-by on the north side of the road in the hamlet, next to the village green, where the locals often hang washing. There are no refreshment opportunities en route other than your own sustenance. Afterwards, there are plenty of cafes/pubs in Hawes. Start: From the lay-by (SD 858907) turn right (west). Cross the first river bridge over Widdale Beck and walk along the A684 for about 200 yards. Immediately before the next roadbridge, on the left, look out for a short ladder and descend this to the footpath (SD 858909).

  • Studies in the Holocene Vegetation History Of
    STUDIES IN THE HOLOCENE VEGETATION HISTORY OF WENSLEYDALE by ANNE HONEYMAN Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Ph.D. The University of Leeds July 1985 School of Geography i SUMMARY Total and arboreal pollen diagrams have been prepared for three blanket bog sites and one valley bog in the Wensleydale area of the Yorkshire Dales. Local pollen assemblage zones have been defined for each site using numerical methods, and these have been correlated to give regional pollen assemblage zones. A computer program has been developed to calculate and plot the palynological data, and an absolute chronology has been established for the pollen diagrams from a series of twenty radiocarbon dates. Detailed humification profiles have been produced for each site to assist in the interpretation of the pollen records, and chemical analyses have also been carried out for the valley bog site. The regional zones have been used as the basis for a discussion of the Holocene vegetation history of Wensleydale. The palynological, radiocarbon, humification, chemical and archaeological/historical evidence is drawn together to provide a comprehensive study of the vegetation changes which have occurred over the approximately 9,000 years covered by the pollen records. By adopting a holistic approach to interpretation, it has been shown that man has been an important influence on the landscape of Wensleydale throughout this entire period. Possible anthropogenic causes are put forward for a number of vegetation changes previously assumed to be of climatic origin. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank first of all my supervisor, Or. R. T. Smith, for all his help and advice throughout my period of research.

    English Place-Names from a Scandinavian Perspective A study on place-names in Herefordshire, Cumbria and the areas reachable by Viking ship through the Humber Engelska ortnamn ur ett Skandinaviskt perspektiv En språkvetenskaplig studie av ortnamn i Herefordshire, Cumbria och de områden som var nåbara med vikingaskepp via Humber Martin Kahnberg Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences English English III: Degree Project 15 credits Supervisor: Marika Kjellén Examiner: Silvia Kunitz Autumn 2020 Title: English Place-Names from a Scandinavian Perspective: A study on place- names in Herefordshire, Cumbria and the areas reachable by Viking ship through the Humber Titel på svenska: Engelska ortsnamn ur ett Skandinaviskt perspektiv: en studie av ortnamn i Herefordshire, Cumbria och de områden som var nåbara med vikingaskepp via Humber. Author: Martin Kahnberg Pages: 237 Abstract In an attempt to discern the prevalence of British place-names with a Scandinavian origin this paper is a small linguistic study on place-names in Herefordshire, Cumbria and the areas along rivers Trent and Ouse. Based on modern maps place-names were included in the study. Older forms of the place-names were retrieved, and these old forms were analysed in order to understand the modern versions of the place-names. Place-name elements were grouped and their frequencies calculated in an attempt to understand the distribution of elements in each area. 1300 place-names were categorised based on their presumed origin, though some lacked the necessary information. Several place-names were given new possible derivations based on their categorisation and the elements they contained. Modern place-name elements/features hinting at a possibly Scandinavian place- name in the past were identified and described.
