THE DISTRICT. — The neighbourhood of Osmotherley is very interesting to 
the naturalist, as it pr.)vides low lying valley lands with steep escarpments, often 
delightfully wooded and terminating in a high moorland area, reaching to about 
1,300 feet above the sea level. The area does not seem to have been much worked, 
and with such diversified characteristics, offers excellent opportunities for investiga- 
tion by almost all sections of the Union. The far famed Mount Grace Priory lies 
close by. The woods and surroundings are picturesque and the view over the Vale 
of York from the long line of escarpment is one of the finest in the county. The 
tableland rests on a foundation of Lower Lias, and is capped by the Coralline rocks 
of the Oolitic system. 
HEADQUARTERS.— The Golden Lion Hotel, Northallerton. 
ACCOMMODATION. — As all the rooms in the Inns in the neighbourhood 
of Osmotherley have been engaged for a long time for Bank Holiday and other

tress, Mrs. E. Bonnett.

the Grey Limestone near Moor House. Follow the moor track south over Black 
Hambleton and Whitestone Scar, past Lime Kiln House to Kepwick Quarries. 
Thence to Nether Silton, along the escarpment if time will allow, or by road direct

the escarpment from 'Thimbleby Lodge to Nether Silton. Traps will meet the 
party at Nether Silton and drive them back to Northallerton.
