dry stane walls and buildings

[Boon]

hi guys
i live only an hours drive from the lovely countryside of derbyshire but will be holidaying in Yorkshire later on, i have also started doing a bit of sketching and watercolours too, does anyone have any photos i could use as reference material that contain old farm buildings (ruins or not) dry stone walling and sheep in a countryside setting please, or name locations where they can be found as i dont want to spend all day trying to find the location first.
Any help or info gratefully received..

I can't name any locations but have a look at this site -

http://www.geograph.org.uk/

They aim to get photographs of every grid square in the UK and Ireland.

It will take a bit of time to go through them but you can search for the area you are visiting and see if there is anything suitable.

Sorry if this is a little late but I think this fits your description? It is on the west side of Thirlmere in the lake district and easily seen from the road. Let me know if you need any more info.

That is a great picture Merc, closer would be better. Another great shot Polmcg, a bit dark on my screen but a great ruin all the same, thank you both..

This is above Langcliffe, it is geotagged so if you go into the shot on flickr you can go into the map and see the exact location.

Hurst near Reeth is a nice spot

The area around Gunnerside is rife with great dry stone walls

And towards the end of Swaledale, around Muker and Keld, and the road up to Tan hill offer some great options too

I know Swaledale much better than the other dales, as it is so close to me, but there are countless opportunities as you head west from Reeth.
