Brownsey Moor, Reeth
A row of shooting butts and controlled heather burning on the grouse moorland of Brownside Moor above Old Gang Beck near Reeth, Swaledale in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, North Yorkshire.
Before the nesting season begins, small sections of heather are burnt to encourage the growth of new shoots which provide protection and food for red grouse.
