The long and winding estate road that almost reaches the watershed between Birkdale Common and Mallerstang. It passes byScarr House sheep pens, quiet now, but at clipping time a hive of activity; the Calverts, their dogs and the quad bikes powering the fleece clippers.
I am fascinated by this sheep fold with If's chimney and can't help thinking of shepherds in past days checking their flock and getting comfort from a warm fire.
