Catalogue entry

The rock walk at Hackfall is a path cut through crags above the right bank of the river Ure, just downstream of Mowbray Castle.1 The path can be seen to the left, and in the centre of the composition we look upstream to Fisher’s Hall, with the Banqueting Hall on the hilltop to the left.
See folio 11 verso (D11387) for general notes on Hackfall.

The original path ran below the crags but has partly collapsed and is disused. The modern path climbs the crags up steps and runs along the top.
