The kids' science books I read, long ago, said 
* We will never be able to observe extra-solar planets
* We will never definitely know whether we are alone

Washburn Valley Walk: 17 Mar 2015
"Lying between Nidderdale in the north and Wharfedale in the south, on the eastern edge of the Yorkshire Dales, this tributary valley of the River Wharfe lies to the north and east of the market town of Otley on the southern edge of North Yorkshire....

"The area is...  a protected landscape featuring several Sites of Special Scientific Interest...

"The village of Fewston... is one of the numerous dispersed settlements of the Washburn Valley...Other settlements in the valley include Thruscross, West End, Blubberhouses, Timble, Norwood, High and Low Snowden, Farnley, Lindley and Leathley.

"The Valley has an ancient heritage of agriculture: green lanes, cart tracks and outgangs can still be seen. Drystone walls have defined field patterns in the valley for centuries, but within them the methods of farming and land ownership have changed radically... Less intensive farming has allowed the natural fauna and flora in the Valley to thrive."- [Washburn Heritage Centre]

When it comes to science, Wikipedia is a useful resource for experts, but terrible as an encyclopedia (@j_timmer).
