Plain Moss, Cumbria

The boundary ducks and dives at Top of Low Stools

Uploader's Comments

The ramshackle drystone wall was once the boundary between Westmorland and Yorkshire. Since 1974 it has been demoted to a parish boundary and also the national park boundary (this may soon include the land I am standing on - watch this space). For some unfathomable reason the wall builders put a kink in the wall here at the strangely-named 'top'. Perhaps there was a team building uphill and another building downhill and they didn't quite line up? Whatever the reason it once altered a county boundary.
