Highlights Along The Route

Point of Interest

Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Yorkshire (West) This healing well is featured on The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) - see their entry for Elm Crag Well, Bingley, West Yorkshire, which has photographs, directions for finding this well and a brief archaeology & history. TNA describe this as "a beautiful old place .....some 25 years ago, someone had built an ugly red-brick wall into the cave which, thankfully, someone has had the sense to destroy and rip-out ..... The waters from here come from two sides inside the small cave and no longer run into the lichen-encrusted trough, seemingly just dropping down to Earth and re-emerging halfway down the hillside. But the waters here taste absolutely gorgeous and are very refreshing indeed! And the old elms which gave this old well its name can still be seen, only just hanging on to the rocks above and to the side, with not much time left for the dear things."

Stanton Moor 4 submitted by PaulM Stanton Moor 4Overlooking the gritstone moorlands to the east and south, Stanton Moor IV, although referred to as an embanked stone circle, is more reminiscent of a ring cairn. It is now completely covered in heather, but the egg-shaped ring of the embankment can be seen raised up above the ground and is approximately 12.5m by 13.5m internally in diameter. There appears to be one entrance to the south-west. A number of small stones survive on the site, including one in the entrance, two at the inner edge of the bank standing 0.35m and 0.6m high, and between one and four other fallen stones.
