Monket House and Monket Bank by fishers

Monket House and Monket Bank

On the west side of Farndale, in the North York Moors, lies the isolated house known as Monket House, and across the road from it is the start of Monket Bank, a steep track rising past old quarry workings onto an ancient route, Rudland Rigg, which crosses the moors from north to south.

Monket Bank became seriously eroded a few years ago, and something of a challenge to travel along, but a major overhaul with new drainage has made a vast improvement to the surface. However it is still a really steep hill to walk up!

Great view of the countryside. The house is very nice but it does seem quite isolated.

Thank you for the wonderful comments and favs.Ian will catch up reading them when he gets back home.
The North Yorkshire Moors are beautiful and I love the way Ian captures them. We have some lovely reminders of our time spent there.

@vesna0210 It is a lovely place, but that hill is hard work if you have to walk up it!
