    Classic moorland for a bit. If you are walking to the south, you are going to have steeply rising Tabular Hills ahead of you in the distance. On your way, you will see three boulders next to the track - the central one of these is called The Hanging Stone would have been a standing stone in the past about 5ft (160 cm) high.

      Great ridgeline to follow along the west side of Bransdale. Travelling south, you slowly approach Birk Nab, bounded by Newgate Bank to the west and Rollgate Bank to the east. The terrain under Birk Nab is extremely boggy pasture and meadow in winter, probably best visited in spring or summer when the weather is finer and ground is firmer.
