Favourite View Down Arkengarthdale

View down Arkengarthdale from just above Punchard Gill Bridge

We were down in Reeth checking the site dimensions of the house we are buying in Reeth and on the way back our estate agent had asked us to take some shots of Hill Top Farm from the Tan Hill road and whilst doing this we took this lovely shot of the pale hayfields above Whaw.  II love the way that each cropped hayfield has its own paleness that gradually warms back to a dense green as the new grass grows and each meadow carries the paleness associated with when it was cropped.

We surprised a Heron on the way back up to Hill Top and it suddenly rose from behind the wall up as we approached the wet-gate - no time to get a photo sadly.  They are such lovely birds and so huge when seen so close!

Just thought I would also attach a snap of Hill Top Farm taken from the fields going up to Dale Head - we'll be sorry to leave when the time comes but we both know its the right thing to move down to Reeth as we are getting older.  But we'll miss Hill Top Farm - that's for sure.
