And finally, looking north-east from the hills above Hollingworth Reservoir through a weathered post-hole in a gritstone fence post. The stone frames a distant pastoral view of patchwork green fields, winding stone walls, scattered farm buildings, and rolling moorland hills under a partly cloudy sky.

A wooden step stile crosses a dry-stone wall running through open pasture. A lone tree grows along the wall line, its branches shaped by the wind. Beyond, the green field slopes gently toward distant hills under a mostly cloudy sky with occasional patches of blue. Power lines and pylons are visible in the background, hinting at the moorland’s mix of natural and human elements.

Looking back (north) from the track near the bridge over Ogden Brook, a grassy track winds up a gentle slope into a wide moorland valley. The landscape is patterned with rolling green hills, patches of bracken, and heather-brown moor. A dry-stone wall snakes along the slope, leading towards a dark conifer plantation on the opposite hillside. The sky is dramatic, with heavy grey clouds broken by a vivid patch of blue.

A weathered wooden stile crosses a barbed-wire fence on Wildbank, with a yellow warning sign for cattle. The stile stands on a grassy upland track under a wide sky with dramatic cloud cover, looking south-east towards Arnfield. The open moorland stretches away into the distance, with pale summer grass and a touch of purple heather on the right edge.

"The real conflict is not town v country, but money and power v people. That holds, regardless of where you live. Never let powerful people tell you who you are"
George Monbiot on the false dichotomy of rural vs cities.

An entire village in Dorset is facing eviction – proof that private money holds all the power in rural England
