Footpath near East Angrove This photograph shows a view of a rather muddy section of the footpath that runs between Yarm Lane (near Great Ayton) and the A172 road (near Stokesley). The section of the path shown in this scene lies just north-west of East Angove. The picture was taken looking in a north-easterly direction towards Great Ayton.

Cobwebs on a Manure Heap Just off Easby Lane the farmer has dump a load of manure ready for spreading over the fields. A film of spiders' webs covers the whole heap shimmering gently in the morning breeze. The barn is new and in the distance is Easby Moor with Captain Cook's Monument just off to the right.

Former Tramway Terminus, Langbaurgh Quarry This site, adjacent to the Middlesbrough to Whitby railway, was the terminus of a tramway from the whinstone quarries at Langbaurgh Ridge (between NZ554122 and NZ562120). The sidings were still in use to serve the eastern end in 1928, the western end having been abandoned earlier. I am not sure if all the buildings shown are contemporary with the railway sidings or related to the site's later use as a council depot for the storage of road salt. Now the site seems to have been abandoned although I have seen it used as a base for the Cleveland Search and Rescue Team during their exercises.

The room was very clean and tidy, and the view was fantastic, the floor to ceiling windows gave us a very good view of the sea and the Abbey. The best room we have had after the upgrade.

We enjoyed our stay at Glendevon! Such a great location very close to the sea front, the cottage had everything we needed and was larger than it looked in the photos, especially the kitchen. We'd highly recommend!
