The Clergy House, Alfriston

A Wealden house described by Octavia Hill (founder of the National Trust) as 'Tiny but beautiful, with orchard and a sweep of lowland river behind it'. The house became the first building to be purchased by the National Trust in 1896. It was probably built in the 1350s.

High Force, Teesdale, County Durham

High Force breaks around 70 ft over Whin Sill, a doleritic intrusive rock stratum. The lower stratum is carboniferous limestone. It is often quoted as being the highest waterfall in England in terms of an unbroken drop – that isn’t actually true but it is a beautiful sight and relatively easily accessible from the B6277-road through Teesdale.

Ralph's Cross, North York Moors

More correctly known as ‘Young’ Ralph’s Cross, this symbol of the North York Moors National Park – the least well known of the national parks in England – is surrounded by legend. Ralph is supposed to have been a guide to travellers or nuns. He either found someone dead here or died here himself. There is a place on top of the cross to leave money… but be careful about taking it: if you don’t need it local legend says you will die in the fog!

The Swastika Stone above Ilkley, Yorkshire

Ilkley Moor and Rombald’s Moor are noted for their Bronze Age rock markings. Most of these belong to the ‘cup and ring’ type. The swastika stone is exceptional, being identical to designs in Northern Italy and in Sweden, and is thought to be of a later date. However, what you see in the foreground is actually a Victorian copy – the original is a few feet away and rather less photogenic. Remember, don't go up 'baht'at'!
