A68 running north from Castleside
The road is at the top of the bank here, and descends steeply to the River Derwent at Allensford, at the bottom. A lot of big wagons like this one come down the road from Northumberland and Scotland.

Grazing fields next to the A68 at Castleside
There is a smallholding here with a herd of rare breed cattle. Nice view to the west also, all the way to the North Pennine moors in the distance.

Entrance drive at the north end of Castleside
View from the side of the A68, looking south. The wood on the horizon is behind the farm at Healeyfield. This is a very distinctive local feature and can be seen from a long way off.

Cows at Castleside
These dairy cattle are on a smallholding just north of the village, beside the A68. They are definitely not commercial breeds, but what exactly I'm not sure. The brown and white ones could be Ayrshires, a once common dairy breed. The black one at the front has similarities to a Gloucester, but could be a cross.
