Here are the answers to this week's Sunday Picture Quiz. How well did you do?

almscliffecrag-wall

1. Almscliffe Crag

This crag near North Rigton is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and is of national importance geologically. 

It's made of millstone grit and was formed when the softer shale and mudstone around it eroded away. It is also thought to have been shaped by the ice sheet of the last Ice Age, which ended about 10,000 years ago.

greatouseburn-millenniumseat

2. Millennium Seat, Great Ouseburn.

This structure one the village green was one of many across the country raised to mark the new millennium in 2000.

The quotation carved into the stonework running around it reads "I have more care to stay than will to go", and is from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.

At its centre is a large boulder that features in old photographs of the green and probably lay on this spot for centuries.

aldborough-highstreet

3. High Street, Aldborough

Easily the most interesting thing to be found on this tiny dead end is the remains of Aldborough's Roman settlement. 

After 160AD, Aldborough – or Isurium Brigantium as it was then known – was the civic capital of the Brigantes people, who were the biggest tribe in Britain and who dominated most of what was later to become Yorkshire.

A lot of time has passed since then – Aldborough has become a peaceful village and its High Street leads nowhere.

pinewoods-warmemorial

4. The Pinewoods war memorial.

Standing at the edge of the woods, looking out across the Valley Gardens, this beautiful war memorial must occupy one of the town's most peaceful spots.

The four carved stone panels around the base of the cross depict the three branches of the armed forces, and the nursing care they received.
