Pinfold
In 1996, the Cumbria County Council commissioned Andy Goldsworthy to create a sculpture project called 'Sheepfolds' as part of the UK Year of Visual Arts.
Goldsworthy's original inspiration for the cone shaped cairns was the Nine Standards on the horizon above Kirkby Stephen.
Other 'Sheepfolds' can be seen at:

Millennium stone
The plaque reads:
The stone was extracted from our quarry at
Plumpton, near Lazonby, in 1996. It is the
Remnant of a wind sculpted pillar of sandstone
around 250 million years ago and it is exactly as it
came out of the ground. As a mark for the
Millennium it perhaps puts time in perspective.

Columns
A number of columns, half hidden amongst the undergrowth, have the appearance of a lost ruin. Hopefully they will not be subjected to too much restoration and the Romantic appeal lost.
