Occupation Road, Dent
Looking towards Middleton Fell from Occupation Road, Dent in the Yorkshire Dales, Cumbria.
Occupation Road (The Occy) was originally an old droving route linking Barbondale and Kingsdale. It was rebuilt in 1859 at the time of the Parliamentary Enclosures when previously common fellside land had to be divided up into large allotments for grazing - the ‘occupied’ land.
