Although the houses in the background are in the village of Eppleby, this is still just within Forcett parish, thus the name given to the beck. Some head scratching needed here if following the public footpath northwards as it isn't well signed. The map suggests a line straight across the beck, but this would invite problems with a marshy area, lack of bridge and fencing. The line is actually across this farm bridge and thence to a field gate in the far corner of the next field.
