The River Garry (Scottish Gaelic: Garadh / Abhainn Gharadh) is a long river punctuated by a series of long Lochs, in Lochaber. Many of the Lochs are part of a 1960s hydroelectricity scheme. The river begins in The Rough Bounds*, and proceeds into Loch Quoich, from where it heads east until it joins the River Kingie at the Kingie Pool. From there it flows into Loch Poulary, and thence to Loch Garry. The final section is 3.5 miles (5.6 km) long, and runs into Loch Oich (part of the Great Glen) just east of the village of Invergarry, through which it runs. *The Rough Bounds (Scottish Gaelic: Na Garbh Chriochan), in the Scottish Highlands, is the area of West Inverness-shire bounded by Loch Hourn, Loch Shiel, and Loch Moidart, consisting of the districts of Knoydart, North Morar, Arisaig and Moidart. The area is famous for its wildness and inaccessibility and remains very sparsely populated.

The Hole of Horcum is a section of the valley of the Levisham Beck, upstream of Levisham and Lockton, in the Tabular Hills of the North York Moors National Park in northern England. The hollow is 120 m deep and approximately 1.2 km across. A "Devil's Punchbowl" type feature, local legend has it that the amphitheatre was formed when Wade the Giant scooped up a handful of earth to throw at his wife during an argument. The Hole was actually created by a process called spring-sapping, where water welling up from the hillside gradually undermined the slopes above, eating the rocks away grain by grain. Over thousands of years, a once narrow valley widened and deepened into an enormous cauldron – and the process still continues today.

Roulston Scar (also know as Sutton Bank) is a high point on the Hambleton Hills and the North Yorkshire Moors with extensive views over the Vale of York. It is the site of one of the most important prehistoric monuments in the region: a massive Iron Age hillfort, constructed around 400 BC. Because it faces the prevailing westerly winds, Sutton Bank has been used for the sport of gliding since the early 1930s The Yorkshire Gliding Club opened in 1934 and is based at the top of the hill.

Whitby East Pier Light (or Whitby East Breakwater Light), was built in 1854. The stone built lighthouse stands 55 foot high ( approx 16 mtrs) and had a light visible from 8 miles (approx 13 km). This was replaced in 1914, by the new Whitby east pier light. The new light was built as a wooden framework tower on 'legs', at the seaward end of the new pier extension. Currently operational, it displays an automated fixed red light (red for port). The view is to the east and Saltwick Nab promontory (see below)
