コッティングウィスでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Not much room for pedestrians on this bridge, but there are recesses / alcoves. Both ends of the bridge have traffic lights and one-way traffic alternates. Time your crossing to avoid getting squashed by Yorkshire drivers!

Swingbridge No. 7 and mooring for up to 11 boats moored against finger pontoons. There is a path that leads into the the village, emerging right next to the Melbourne Arms pub.

Pivots on the south bank of the canal, and the brick walls on the south bank and east side of the bridge make for a useful rest area as there are no other benches nearby.

Off-road parking, could easily fit 10-12 or so cars in here.

Smaller parking area, with space for around half a dozen cars or so.

Remnants of RAF Riccall are clearly visible around this loop. The base has a rich history and served as a heavy bomber (Handley Page Halifax) operational conversion unit during the Second World War. Three runways were constructed to form an "A" shape, which allegedly had to be rebuilt after they started to subside and sink into the soft ground. The entire common is riddled with patches of concrete and asphalt that represent the remains of the taxiways and flight pan.

Elvington is a cute village centred around the village green, with the Grey Horse Inn a focal point. A 17th-century stone bridge crosses the River Derwent at the east end of the village, connecting it with Sutton Upon Derwent. North West from the village is Elvington Airfield, WW2 bomber station and home of the Yorkshire Air Museum.
