Cotton is a tiny hamlet set in a very attractive location, with most buildings located along a very narrow single-track lane.

The south eastern end of the lane starts at the crossroads with Beelow Lane opposite and the junction is crossed by the B5417 road where Ye Olde Star Inn is located. From there the winding tree-lined lane takes one in a north westerly direction and passes by, the Faber Catholic Primary School, St Wilfred's Church which is fenced off and is undergoing repairs, St John the Baptist Parish Church, two churchyards and two cemeteries, in the distance can be seen the derelict Cotton College which is also fenced off, a farm, several cottages and houses and lots of woodland which includes Star Wood and the Cotton Dell Nature Reserve.

After approximately two miles the lane passes through Upper Cotton, where there are several more cottages and a few farms. From Upper Cotton, the lane leads northwards to the main road, which is the A52.

The photos have been sorted into the order that I came upon the subjects while walking along Cotton Lane in a north westerly direction.
