Marton from Tarn
Flatt Welcome to Marton. View of Marton from Tarn Flatt, with Round Hills in the distance. |
 |
Marton War Memorial The Marton War Memorial is almost identical to the Lindal War Memorial. Both are carved from Stainton limestone, and carry the names of those from the villages who lost their lives whilst serving in the First World War. |
 |
Marton playground Marton playground is adjacent to the War Memorial. There is a grassed area and some play equipment. |

Mineworking
remains South of Marton South of Marton lies Lindal Moor, where extensive iron ore mining took place. Although the mine workings are gone, there is plenty evidence of their existence, such as railway trackbeds, and the disturbed ground shown in this photograph. Pits in this area were in the Buccleuch Royalty, and included B26, B29, B30 and B36. |
 |
Old Hills Tramway A long embankment is clearly visible on the outskirts of Marton, on either side of the road leading down to Lindal. This was known as the Old Hills Tramway. The bridge that once crossed the road is now gone. |
 |
Bell
Hill Cottages View from Pit Lane looking north-west over Lindal Moor to Bell Hill Cottages. |
 |
Carr Kettle Small tarn in the Carr Kettle area. This can be found by following the public footpath leading eastwards to Carr Kettle, starting slightly north of the Y-junction on the road between Lindal and Marton. |
 |
Looking North from
Marton This view is taken from the east end of Marton looking northwards towards Snipe Ghyll. Evidence of mineworkings can be seen on the left. The communications mast in the distance is between Carr Kettle and Poaka Beck Reservoir. There are several reservoirs and Harlock Hill Wind Farm just beyond the summit of the hill in the photograph. |
 |
Devil's Bridge on
Harlock Hill This disused stone bridge crossing the Rathmoss Beck can be found beside the road over Harlock Hill, just south of Horrace. It is dwarfed by the adjacent wind turbines of the Harlock Hill Wind Farm. |
 |
Poaka Beck
Reservoir This view is taken from Harlock Hill, looking south-west over Poaka Beck Reservoir. The wind farm in the distance is at Far Old Park Farm, to the west of Marton. This reservoir was created in 1867. The nearby Pennington Reservoir was created in 1876, and Harlock Reservoir was created in the 1890s. |
 |
Old Reading Room The building on the left was built as a reading room for the villagers of Marton. It is now a house. In this view, you can see the roof of a new house being constructed in the centre of the village. |
