Outhouse at Low Borrowbridge farm, Lune Gorge, near Tebay, Cumbria, UK

            The single-track lane on the left is Fairmile Road, the remnant of Wicker Street, the Roman road from Manchester to Carlisle (and hence Hadrian's Wall). From the c70s CE the nearby crossing of the River Lune was guarded by Low Borrowbridge Roman Fort; when the fort was abandoned in the 4th Century, the route survived as a packhorse/drover's road, and the 1.1 ha levelled rectangle of the fort became 'Fairfield', the venue of periodic cattle sales (fairs).

This farm complex, standing immediately outside the field, presumably developed alongside this activity; indeed, it once included an inn.

The hill in the background is within the Lake District National Park, whilst the Yorkshire Dales National Park begins less than a kilometre behind the camera. However, the valley floor here is within neither, probably because of the presence of the M6 motorway and West Coast main railway line, which pass ~200 m behind the farm.
