Across country for a short distance until we reach the Midland Railway's Skipton to Grassington branch at Rylstone station.
Further up the branch is the current terminus, at Swinden Works. This ex BR loco was used to shunt the sidings in 1972.
Just outside Grassington is the village of Linton, with its church, photographed in 1998.
Here's Grassington station, MR.
The River Wharfe has a cascade of weirs at Grassington.

At last....a pub, the Crown at Addingham. Oh no! It's shut now!
Thankfully, the Fleece is still serving pints.
Got your hat? We're off onto Ilkley Moor.
The next post will see us getting warm in Ilkley, if we haven't caught us death o' cold! See where we've been on the map.
