Room with a View


 
The view from the window at the back of the Visitor Centre is a picture on a beautiful Good Friday afternoon ...... 
 
and makes an ideal viewing point to watch Mr Rukin's ewes and lambs.

 
The patchwork of fields, dotted with traditional dales barns and divided by a zigzag of stone walls is marred only slightly by the electricity cables.  Will they ever be buried underground?  The steepness of the terrain and the ground rock would make it a difficult process.  On reflection, a few overhead cables is decidedly more preferable than life without electricity!
