A6024 - Heyden Moor

The Descent From The Moor

When Chris sent me these photos, his note for the left hand one immediately below was "better maintenance in Yorkshire". I suppose I should expect a comment like that from a Yorkshireman...

The right hand picture offers a view of Yateholm Reservoir, nestling amongst the trees in the valley below.

Better maintenance in Yorkshire? Well, that didn't last very long, did it? There's a short stretch of single lane working because of subsidence, near Kaye Edge. Other than that, the road continues downwards...

...unrelentingly...

...around a sharp right hand bend. After passing the bend, the next picture gives a good view over the dry stone wall to the fields and hills beyond.
