Colliery landslip, Westwood north of Bardon Mill
The OS map indicates historical drift mining in the area. The grey material is coal dust which suggests some kind of slippage of colliery waste. Whatever its origin it obstructs the course of a public footpath and could be quite hazardous given the unstable nature of the ground and the steep drop (right) to Chainley Burn.

Landslip on east side of Chainley Burn
A large landslide of former colliery waste has occurred here leaving the narrow (lower) footpath feeling rather exposed. The trees on the distant hilltop are east of Park Head.

Junction of paths above Chainley Burn
The branch to the left descends to cross Chainley Burn at a footbridge near Low Fogrigg. The site of Henshaw Colliery was just south of there on the west side of the burn. The old waggonway along the east side of the valley continues past the site of Barcombe Colliery, below Birkshaw.
