SD9498 : Dropping down into Dyke Heads
taken 7 years ago, near to Ivelet, North Yorkshire, England
Dropping down into Dyke Heads
The track above the right bank of Gunnerside Gill is maintained in good condition for vehicles right up onto Gunnerside Moor. Here it has turned away from the slope above the Gill, to descend the south-facing hillside to the road between Dyke Heads and Ivelet. Across the dale, there are still a few patches of snow on the north-facing slopes of Oxnop Side. Swaledale's characteristic field barns are fewer in number here than further down the dale, but several can still be seen scattered between the more modern farm buildings.
