Trough and new shade tree
Trough and new shade tree
The public footpath from the Hudswell road down to the main road in Swaledale seems little used by walkers (there are no continuing paths the other side of either road, so it's not really part of a longer walk) and is quite faint. The trough may not be right on the right of way, but in this weather, dogs get thirsty too, and it's the only spot for a drink. Sheep need shade as well as water, and there are several recently planted trees which will provide shade as they grow. Since Oak and Ash leaf out quite late, it has been traditional to use Sycamore for shade, despite its being an ugly, invasive, non-native species. These, however, are Horse Chestnut, also non-native, but currently considered to be under threat in the UK, so planting seems to be fashionable - they certainly meet the need as providers of shade and produce better autumn colour.
