Part the way up onto the high ground we look back to see this view with the road winding its way over the landscape with Nateby and Kirkby Stephen showing in the background.

A bit higher and we see this view to the west and the high ground of Ravenstonedale Common.

We finally reach our maximum height with posts along the side of the road to mark its position when there is thick snow on the ground.

This is the view towards Keld showing the road disappearing over the brow of a hill in the far distance and then re-appearing over to the right.

A view of one of the Buttertubs situated by the road from Keld to Hawes. The Buttertubs are a collection of fluted shafts in the Carboniferous Limestone caused by rain water seeping into the rock over millenia. They vary in depth up to about 80 feet.

The name is said to have originated because farmers, on their way to and from the market, would store their butter in these natural holes on hot days to keep it cool.
