North Lane climbs up to Upper Holme, the subject position. A lane runs through it up the ridge, with Lower Holme to the left and Haw Cote to the right. Beyond Upper Holme, 850m as the crow flies is out of sight – the Colne valley. The distant view is of Lingards. Lingards Road climbs the hillside passing a tall building that is 'School' on the 1960s six inch map, but a 'Place of worship' on the modern map. This is a hamlet optimistically called Hill Top, but there is more climbing until a loose collection of houses and farms is reached on Chain Road, the B6107.
