Mount Cross (Christianised Site) — Fieldnotes

The cross is very easy to find. It is just over a wall on the northern side of a bridleway heading north up a very steep road from Cornholme. I would avoid heading up from Cornholme (off the A648) if possible as the road is steep and hard to pass traffic coming the other way. The cross is in decent condition but it is leaning slightly. It is in a good place to get to as it is near the road. The cross is leaning slighlty and is very weatherd suggesting it must have stood for many a century on this wind tormented hill. Definitely worth a visit if you are passing by but dont go out of your way as the nearby wall, farm and bridleway ruin the views and place of the cross slightly.

Great Bride Stones (Natural Rock Feature) — Fieldnotes

I headed up to the bride stones today. It is easy to find and is just off the A road to the north of the stones. I would not recommend heading to the stones without a good pair of boots or wellies as it is very muddy and there is no clear path to the stones so it is a short yet treacherous journey in poor conditions. Once there, it is a special place. Quiet and serene with decent views all around. There is definitely something special about the stones and its quiet location which only makes one reflect on all that the stones must have seen in this lonely yet special place.

Knotties Stone (Otley Chevin) (Cup and Ring Marks / Rock Art) — Fieldnotes

From yorkgate road chevin car park walk east along the surprise view footpath for about 400m. Parallel with the end of the plantation on your right there are some bushes with a patch of heathery grass beneath them. Knottie's stone is visible from the path in those bushes, although the carving is very faint and much easier viewed from the other side. Worth a look for the view from the stone, with the carved line seemingly pointing at the wart of Almscliffe on the horizon. Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink
