The official track runs down the Gorge on the west side of Burbage Brook but this track runs down the east side.text/html2013-02-20T09:56:29+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/7683Roger Temple53.314333 -1.614963SK2579 : Disused quarry
https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3339192
This small quarry, on the edge of Granby Wood, lies next to the B6521. It has not been in use for many years.text/html2013-02-20T09:48:06+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/7683Roger Temple53.314243 -1.615114SK2579 : Green track out of Granby Wood
https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3339176
This track on the Longshaw Estate leads down to the B6521. Many years ago the access to and from the road was sealed up with a stone wall and is now pedestrians only.text/html2007-11-14T23:44:21+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/7683Roger Temple54.242445 -3.027603SD3383 : Raised embankment on the river Leven
https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/613006
The line of dead reeds and grasses on the embankment shows how close this tidal river came to the top of these earthworks in recent times. The picture was taken about an hour before high tide.text/html2007-11-14T23:24:38+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/7683Roger Temple54.202687 -3.041793SD3279 : Low cliffs on the river Leven
https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/612977
Gorse covers these low cliffs above the high water level of the Leven estuary.text/html2007-11-14T23:09:59+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/7683Roger Temple54.233813 -3.048867SD3182 : Footbridge over the river Leven
https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/612948
This footbridge carries the Cumbrian Coastal Path across the Leven estuary.text/html2007-11-14T23:04:00+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/7683Roger Temple54.156848 -2.966524SD3673 : The lane at the side of Lakeland Caravan Park
https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/612938
At this point, the lane lies just within the square and runs towards marshland at the bottom of the caravan park. To the right of the lane, obscured by the trees, there is work going on to build an embankment which is presumably a sea defence wall.text/html2007-11-14T22:48:46+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/7683Roger Temple54.195138 -3.052026SD3178 : Plumpton Bight at high tide

Looking towards the Leven viaduct this picture shows the extent of this estuary when the tide is high.text/html2007-11-14T22:43:27+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/7683Roger Temple54.168236 -3.055326SD3175 : Cowp Scar Mussel Bed
https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/612905
This area of low lying rock sticks out into the Leven Estuary, surrounded on 3 sides by extensive mud flats. There was no evidence that mussels were still collected from this area. The picture was taken about 3 hours after high tide.text/html2007-11-14T22:34:07+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/7683Roger Temple54.155515 -3.070928SD3073 : Ulverston sands
https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/612888
These reed beds went just far enough out into the estuary to enable me to get into this square safely and only a GPS reading could tell my location with any certainty. In another 5 or 6 metres they give way to large areas of unpredictable mud flats which are not a sensible place to go! The estuary is shown about 3 hours after high tide.text/html2007-11-14T22:20:18+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/7683Roger Temple54.204421 -3.038770SD3279 : The banks of the river Leven
https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/612869
At high tide, as shown here, this river increases massively in size.text/html2007-11-14T22:16:36+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/7683Roger Temple54.198470 -3.040920SD3278 : Train crossing the Leven viaduct
https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/612866
The picture shows just the start of the viaduct which has 48 piers supporting it across the estuary. The picture was taken at high tide.text/html2007-11-14T22:11:52+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/7683Roger Temple54.235507 -3.040165SD3282 : Dried grassland on the banks of the river Leven
https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/612862
Looking north north west from the Cumbrian Coastal Path towards Coniston Old Man, the grassland on the river bank glow gold in the November sun.text/html2007-11-14T22:06:54+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/7683Roger Temple54.237023 -3.030997SD3282 : The edge of Roudsea Wood
https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/612855
This footpath runs along a raised river embankment at the edge of the woodland.text/html2007-11-14T22:01:31+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/7683Roger Temple54.238727 -3.031500SD3283 : Disused railway bridge over the river Leven
https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/612849
This bridge at one time carried the Haverthwaite railway line but is now only used by a footpath.
