A few metres beyond the parking is the beck; the photo above shows the R&DAS top (upstream) limit which is the ford and bridge pictured above. R&DAS rights are downstream for 200M on the North East bank (near-side in the photo) and downstream on the South West bank (far-side in the photo) for about three quarters of a mile to Skeeby bridge where the A6108 crosses the beck
