Cottage at The Grange
The paths as shown on the map and the reality on the ground are somewhat different here. My slightly older edition map shows the bridleway a few metres further south and actually in the water! West from here the path is shown as being to the left of fences and close by the lake edge, but that is impassable and the route appears to keep to the right of any fence.

Large pond or small lake?
This must also be a flooded former gravel quarry, but much smaller than those nearby. There are extensive areas of gravel extraction in this area and near to Bolton on Swale. I suspect the deposits are a remnant of the last ice age when the Stainmore glacier would have met other ice in this neighbourhood originating both from the direction of the North Sea and from Swaledale, thus leaving large deposits of moraine material including gravels.

Former gravel pit south of The Grange
The largest of the old gravel pits near The Grange and already beginning to look like a natural lake with mature vegetation growth around the margins and a large number of wildfowl in residence.
