Worth stopping on your ride here - this is a gem!

"City of Troy" here is the only surviving instance (in North Yorkshire) of an ancient game. A similar name is given to these kinds of maze games in Scandinavia (Trojeborg = Troy Town), which shows early association between these parts of the world.

There is a plaque with further information here as well as a bench to rest on to enjoy this place. The views are also quite lovely, particularly down the Bonnygate Lane road.

Don't zoom past this - stop, sit on the bench, have a long cool drink and soak up this little beauty!
