Permissive path through barley field
Permissive paths are not uncommon but this one is unusual as it cuts right through a growing cash crop rather than crossing open country or a grassed field for grazing. It gives an alternative access to Ferryhill Carrs Nature Reserve.

Pottery memorials at Ferryhill cemetery
Among the more traditional gravestones there are many memorials made from pottery. They have a heart shaped panel set at an angle upon which a simple inscription is made; they are presumably low-cost monuments and date from the first half of the 20th. century.

The Carrs SSSI
The Carrs SSSI and the adjoining Ferryhill Carrs Local Nature Reserve lie in a channel carved by glacial meltwater through magnesian limestone. Much of the low lying parts of the reserve are covered by water while the limestone slopes are covered by woodland and grassland. The apparatus seen in the background is the railhead loading facility for Thrislington Quarry.
