Love the old horse trough and the ride up through Fairburn ings. The benches are all closed off at the moment. However the cafe and toilets were open today. I rode down the main road back to another entrance

The village gaol was dug out of a limestone crag and measures only 8ft by 6ft. Inside there is nothing but a stone bench. An uncomfortable place to be locked up. It is an impressive sight by the side of the road. The window bars are the originals.
