Ramshaw is a dispersed location in the valley of the Bolt's Burn, a tributary of the River Derwent, itself one of the River Tyne. Historically, the valley has been heavily involved in the production of lead, both in the mining of ore and its smelting. There are ruins immediately below the camera location, a small part of them is in view at the foot of the image.
