On 6th November we had a circular walk round Farnley, the village on the approach to the Washburn Valley. Pictures are titled where appropriate.
Looking across to Armscliffe Crag.

Arthur Peel's Gravestone. Arthur was the owner of the farm at Lindley (2 miles from Farnley) which was used as the farm when the TV series was entitled "Emmerdale Farm" back in the 1970's. He was often seen as a farm worker moving cows, delivering lambs etc.
The walk back across the fields to Farnley Lane.
Farnley Hall, owned by the Horton-Fawkes family since the 1500's. In the early 1600's, Lord Horton-Fawkes was a cousin of the natorious Guy Fawkes of the Gunpowder Plot!
Cottages in the village.
Old row of cottages now converted into office accomodation.
