Inbye


Inbye land is usually more hospitable than the nearby moorland but here the grassy pasture of the inbye goes much higher than the rest of Blacka, though not higher than other moorland beyond. It is mainly treeless except for a few scattered thorns and one Rowan almost hidden from view low down among the bracken.
It would be improved by the planting of a few groups of trees as there are few other features to attract the eye. Morning sun at this time of year burnishes longer grasses satisfyingly and the distant bleakness of surrounding moors is relieved by the annual makeover. But the view would be poorer without the woods between.
