Through Strid Woods, Last Look at Bolton Abbey

Having walked alongside the river to The Strid, I decided to take a higher path back to Bolton Abbey through Strid Woods.
 
Looking down on the River Wharfe from time to time: 
 
S
Seeing some rock-side waterfalls flowing down the hill:
 

And eventually, I came within sight of Bolton Abbey again:
 

It was time to have a last look round the Abbey cemetery:
 


The two graves below caught my eye the most:
 

 I just imagined that this was what the old monks' graves must've looked like, or the graves of Emily and Francis Norton in Wordsworth's The Wild Doe of Rylstone.
 
It was time to leave Bolton Abbey.
