  • Grade 2 Listed Former Farmhouse, Stone Barns
    GRADE 2 LISTED FORMER FARMHOUSE, STONE BARNS AND PADDOCK WITHIN THE YORKSHIRE DALES NATIONAL PARK swale farmhouse, ellerton abbey, richmond, north yorkshire, dl11 6an GRADE 2 LISTED FORMER FARMHOUSE, STONE BARNS AND PADDOCK WITHIN THE YORKSHIRE DALES NATIONAL PARK swale farmhouse, ellerton abbey, richmond, north yorkshire, dl11 6an Rare development opportunity in a soughtafter location. Situation Swale Farmhouse is well situated, lying within a soughtafter and accessible location occupying an elevated position within Swaledale. The property is approached from a private driveway to the south side of the B6260 Richmond to Reeth Road approximately 8 miles from Richmond, 3 miles from Reeth and 2 miles from Grinton. Description Swale Farmhouse is a Grade 2 listed traditional stone built farmhouse under a stone slate roof believed to date from the 18th Century with later 19th Century alterations. Formerly divided into two properties with outbuildings at both ends the property now offers considerable potential for conversion and renovation to provide a beautifully situated family home or possibly multiple dwellings (subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents). The house itself while needing full modernisation benefits from well-proportioned rooms. The house extends to just over 3,000 sq ft as shown on the floorplan with a total footprint of over 7,000 sq ft including the adjoining buildings. The property has the benefit of an adjoining grass paddock ideal for use as a pony paddock or for general enjoyment. There are lovely views from the property up and down Swaledale and opportunities such as this are extremely rare. General Information Rights of Way, Easements & Wayleaves The property is sold subject to, and with the benefit of all existing wayleaves, easements and rights of way, public and private whether specifically mentioned or not.

  • A Parasite of Red Grouse (Lagopus Lagopus Scoticus)
    THE ECOLOGY AND PATHOLOGY OF TRICHOSTRONGYLUS TENUIS (NEMATODA), A PARASITE OF RED GROUSE (LAGOPUS LAGOPUS SCOTICUS) A thesis submitted to the University of Leeds in fulfilment for the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By HAROLD WATSON (B.Sc. University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne) Department of Pure and Applied Biology, The University of Leeds FEBRUARY 198* The red grouse, Lagopus lagopus scoticus I ABSTRACT Trichostrongylus tenuis is a nematode that lives in the caeca of wild red grouse. It causes disease in red grouse and can cause fluctuations in grouse pop ulations. The aim of the work described in this thesis was to study aspects of the ecology of the infective-stage larvae of T.tenuis, and also certain aspects of the pathology and immunology of red grouse and chickens infected with this nematode. The survival of the infective-stage larvae of T.tenuis was found to decrease as temperature increased, at temperatures between 0-30 C? and larvae were susceptible to freezing and desiccation. The lipid reserves of the infective-stage larvae declined as temperature increased and this decline was correlated to a decline in infectivity in the domestic chicken. The occurrence of infective-stage larvae on heather tips at caecal dropping sites was monitored on a moor; most larvae were found during the summer months but very few larvae were recovered in the winter. The number of larvae recovered from the heather showed a good correlation with the actual worm burdens recorded in young grouse when related to food intake. Examination of the heather leaflets by scanning electron microscopy showed that each leaflet consists of a leaf roll and the infective-stage larvae of T.tenuis migrate into the humid microenvironment' provided by these leaf rolls.

  • Mould Side: Lead, Chert and Grit – a Circular Walk
    Mould Side: Lead, Chert and Grit – a circular walk About 3.8 miles / 6.1 km or 3-4 hours when you stop and look at the landscape. Good walking boots and appropriate clothing is essential. There are several short sections usually no more than 20 metres in length, which are steep climbs or decents of grassy banks. You can usually zig-zag up these. Walking down Stoddart’s Hush requires walking of rocks but this isn’t very difficult other than choosing your path over the rocks. Stoddart’s Hush, by far the most spectacular hush to visit, is one of those ‘off the beaten track’ places which is well worth the effort of getting there. I have placed all the photographs at the end of this document, so that you can just print the front 5 text pages of the guide to take with you. Location: From Reeth turn by The Buck Hotel to go up Arkengarthdale. Between the village of Langthwaite and the CB Inn turn left towards Low Row (sign post = Low Row). The lane climbs up hill passing some large lead mining spoil heaps. Just passed the last spoil heap the lane continues to climb, but after approximately 200m it passes over a flat bridge with stone side-walls, located at the bottom of Turf Moor Hush. Park either side of this bridge on the grass verge. There is plenty of room for many cars. Route: Using your GPS follow the route up Turf Moor Hush. The first 20 minutes is all up hill. About 75-80% of the hill climbing is done whilst your are fresh.

  • Swaledale Museum Newsletter 29 Spring 2020 Print
    Newsletter No.29 Spring 2020 A message from the Curator As I write this, in mid-April, I am hoping that we will be able to resume ‘service as normal’ in the Museum this season. However any forward planning has become an almost impossible task as the situation changes from week to week. Ever the optimist I have decided to assume that we will be re-opening on 21st May and be running our programme of events. However, checking ahead will be paramount as we adapt to the latest guidelines. One of the benefits of the lockdown has been longer and more considered messages between Lidar image of Reeth - thanks to Stephen Eastmead acquaintances. I have, for example, been receiving regular pages from an ‘electronic diary of the plague marginalia in much loved and favourite books. months’ from an elderly friend living in a small hamlet.

  • BR Coast to Coast SG H .Pub
    Active Journeys Britain Self-Guided Hiking Tour Wainright’s Walk Coast to Coast Hike This classic route was originated and described by A. Wainwright; author of a well-known series of hiking guidebooks on the Lake District. The walk starts on the Irish Sea coast of Cumbria near the huge red sandstone cliffs of St. Bees Head. You cross three National Parks before reaching the North Sea at the pretty fishing village of Robin Hood's Bay on the rocky coastline of the North York Moors. The first few days take you over some of the most rugged, beautiful terrain of the Lake District, by way of the idyllic Lakeland valleys of Borrowdale, Grasmere (poet William Wordsworth lived here) and Patterdale, close to Ullswater Lake. You pass Helvellyn, Eng- land's most popular mountain, and the mountain oddly named High Street, along which Roman Legions marched on their way to Hadrian's Wall. After leaving the Lake District you cross a gentler landscape round Shap and Orton. Be- yond the quaint market town of Kirkby Stephen you enter the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Two days are then spent walking through the long valley of Swaledale, with its dry stone walls and unspoiled villages. You reach the historic town of Richmond with its cob- bled streets, market square and famous castle perched above the River Swale. Beyond the Vale of York, elevation rises onto the expansive heather moorlands of the North York Moors, a region of long vistas and easy walking. After crossing the narrow wooded valley of Eskdale you reach the dramatic cliffs of the North Sea Coast.

  • Car Parking Charges for the Station, Richmond Swimming
    CAR PARKING CHARGES FOR THE STATION, RICHMOND SWIMMING POOL AND GYM CUSTOMERS ARE ON THE WAY; HOWEVER, YOU CAN MAKE THEM FAIRER IF YOU ACT IMMEDIATELY BY EXPRESSING YOUR VIEWS Richmondshire District Council is proposing to introduce car parking charges in The Station Yard Car Park this spring. We understand that the ticket machines have been ordered . This car park is currently used by customers of The Station, Richmond Swimming Pool and Liberty Gym. All of these buildings and the activities which take place in them are organised and maintained through the efforts of two local volunteer-led charities: The Station – Is operated by The Richmondshire Building Preservation Trust The Pool and Gym – Are operated by the Richmond Leisure Trust If you regularly use these ‘much loved’ charity-run-facilities , and choose to park your vehicle in the council owned Station Yard Car Park, you will shortly be charged for your visit. The charities that operate these facilities believe that what is being proposed will have an immediate and detrimental impact on these community amenities which are run on a ‘not-for profit’ basis - and could ultimately force them to close. The local authority appear to have little or no relevant research on which to justify their position. Your help is needed NOW to ensure that the views of people like you, who value The Station, pool and gym, to make your voices heard on this critical issue by writing to or phoning your district councillor, if you live in Richmondshire or writing to the head of the local authority if you don't.
