Dolphinholme & Over Wyresdale Church

I took a slightly circuitous route home from work today: south from campus (i.e. directly away from home) then inland to Dolphinholme, then back to Lancaster over Hare Appletree Fell.

My primary objective had been to take photographs of the old mill village in Lower Dolphinholme, but I hadn't planned ahead, neither knowing what I was looking for nor allowing for the early onset of dusk in the narrow, steep-sided valley of the River Wyre. Another time....

I had greater success with an unanticipated stop, at Over Wyresdale church, just outside Abbeystead: not 'chocolate-box' quaint, but with interesting details and a picturesque setting.
