Attractive chapel with unusual open cupola

Unmissable and unfortunately not well served by public footpaths or bridleways, however, the main road has sufficiently wide verges to walk safely along. If you are heading north past the Obelisk Ponds, then there is a fantastic track on the east side of the road which is flanked by lime trees forming a wonderful avenue to walk along (see photos).

Slingsby Castle was never actually a castle, but a home built in 1620s for Sir Charles Cavendish. It is still quite impressive (particularly in the right light!). It is now a Grade II listed building and a Scheduled Monument. You will have to admire it from afar, though, as it is not open to the public.

This is a very beautiful church. Although rebuilt in Victorian times, there are parts of it still from the 12th century, e.g., the arched south door and masonry outside the nave. Outside the church, on one of the walls, you will also find a sundial, which is, at least in my experience, a rather unusual find!

This place is just incredible. On this family-run farm, you'll find essentially a sea of different lavender flowers (be careful, it's almost unbearably beautiful) with striking views of the Vale of York added for good measure. It's one of the most amazing places I've ever seen. Open to visit between April and September, the farm also has a shop and a tearoom. It should be one of your top places to visit in Yorkshire.

This church is historically connected with Brandsby Hall, which has been the seat of the Cholmeley family for over 300 years, and they were linked by marriage to the Fairfax family of the Gilling Castle. The church itself is unusual and a good example of the contemporary Georgian style. Inside, make sure you spot the extraordinary brass chandeliers as well as the brass lectern.
