The southern slope of the western Bowland Fells. Parlick Pike left end, Totridge Fell right end. These fells protect the Hodder valley from the worst of the prevailing weather.
The magnificent fireplace at Stakes Farm. The original has a smaller version inserted to reduce its size. The tenant, Peter Clegg, is very proud of this. It was bricked up when he took over!
Stakes Farm - the fireplace room, facing the river.
Stakes farm-house, with horrible infill.
The Hodder at Stakes Farm. The white water is caused by the stepping stones, not visible following heavy and prolonged rain.
The original front doorway of Stakes farm-house, with Latin inscription over. The doorway is now a window. The present door is on the right, under the lamp, built into a bricked-up window.
Lower Lees Farm - the original front doorway, now within an extension. The lintel timbers are re-used, possibly from a previous house demolished when this one was built.

The Loud Valley, from Longridge Fell. The video starts looking north at Chipping and swings right to the Hodder gap, across the ground (in the distance) from which the previous video was shot. The Bowland Fells in the background.
