Today I had a drive out to Hetton Le Hole, a little village on the south of the North Yorkshire Moors. The road from the A171 at Lockwood Beck reservoir passes a few interesting man made landmarks. On Smeathorns Lane at the Commondale turnoff is a very remote bus stop that would be very bland if it didn't have the Shaun The Sheep emblazoned on the wall.
Once through Castleton and on the way to Hetton le hole, on the right, close to the road is "Young Ralph" (https://megalithix.wordpress.com/2011/04/12/ralphs-cross/), this is a tall stone cross and is part of the logo for the North York moors national park.
Quite close by is "Fat Betty" (https://thejournalofantiquities.com/2012/08/15/fat-betty-cross-danby-high-moor-north-yorkshire/), a rather short squat cross.
Just past the Lion Inn (http://www.lionblakey.co.uk/) at Blakey Ridge is a stone that I don't know the name of but i suspect it may have been a boundary stone.
On top of this stone there was a couple of coins, I added one of my own. The tradition is that they could be used by a traveller in distress.
