Gallop End Limekiln, Marske, Coast to Coast
Gallop End limekiln is a prodigious disused limekiln on Gallop End, which is the rocky outcrop forming the east ridge top finger of Deer Park Wood, above the disused Gallop End Quarry and slightly east of Hollins Farm. It is midway between Marrick and Marske in Swaledale and is just outside of the boundary for the former Deer Park, a short distance from Hutton's Monument.
Gallop End Limekiln
Gallop End Limekiln blends in perfectly with the background outcrop of rock of the same colour. Unlike most it is a double limekiln. Above it is the Gallop End Quarry, now disused. The limekiln was used to make lime on-site from the limestone mined in the quarry.

The Limekiln and disused quarry can also be seen from the wall alongside the Coast to Coast path at Hollins Farm, albeit a little more distant. The light top of Hutton's Monument can just be seen over the brow of the hill. The Monument has a Grade II Listing with Historic England. It dates to 1814 and commemorates Sir Matthew Hutton, whose favourite view was the hill upon which it stands.
