The final resting place of the 'Arch'. A shepherd's hut near Thornton-in-Lonsdale.
The Arch itself. Unfortunately it is now behind a padlocked door.
The Arch project
In 1997 a sandstone arch 'travelled' through Cumbria along the traditional drove roads, stopping each night at various locations.

The Sheepfolds project
 |
 |
|
Casterton Fellfoot Drove Folds. There are sixteen of these 'boulders in a fold'. Each one has it's own character and this is one of the biggest.
|
This one has Thistles growing in it, intentionally or not ?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This one has a channel and little indentation carved on it.
|
This contains a rather cratered boulder and is echoed by an enclosure behind with metal railings.
|
|
 |
 |
|
This one is very green and mossy under the trees
|
This seems to point at a lone tree in a field.
|
|
 |
 |
|
This one is overgrown with nettles.
|
This is filled with bracken. |
|
 |
 |
|
| A step-ladder would have been handy !
|
A huge boulder in this one. | |
 |
 |
|
Quite a round shape to this one, echoing the trees behind.
|
The interior of the round one, with a nice purplish boulder. | |
 |
 |
|
A few Foxgloves here.
|
A "Sheep's Eye" view of the same one |
At this point the weather turned a lot worse, so the remaining 5 Casterton sheepfolds will have to wait for another day.
We then drove on to Mountjoy Farm - just the other side of Kendal.
