A River Runs Through It

This photograph shows a stream that runs through the village of Arncliffe in the Yorkshire Dales.

Perhaps because of the water I noticed several herbs growing wild next to the flow of water including mint and tansy.

I thought at first this stream was the river Skirfare that run through Arncliffe, but having looked at an OS map it is actually Cowside beck that also runs through Arncliffe. In northern England a beck is another name for stream.

The really great thing about Arncliffe and the beautiful wide open countryside that surrounds it is that it is around 40 miles from Leeds city centre to the spot where this photograph was taken.
