Mill Farm over Forcett Beck
At this level, all the snow has melted (apart from the odd snowplough-built piles at the sides or the road), but the resulting meltwater has not drained from the fields. You can just discern Forcett Beck, almost bank full as it flows through the very flat fields between Eppleby just to the north and the fortifications of Stanwick St. John to the south.

Forcett Beck
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.

Disused railway track near Eppleby
This photograph shows part of the disused railway track that ran between Forcett Valley and Darlington. The section shown here runs up the east side of the small village of Eppleby. Some of the stone boundary walls of properties in the village can be seen on the left-hand side of the picture. This section of the old railway is now used as a farm access track.

Old railway track, Forcett
The situation is much closer to Eppleby than Forcett, but this is still within the parish of the latter village. The line was once used for transportation of limestone from the nearby Forcett quarries.

Eppleby on a winter afternoon
Eppleby's village green is L-shaped, as seen from above. This view is from the road that cuts down the middle of the upright of the "L", across the horizontal, which leads off east of the road, and down to the pub.
