Part of the long-gone Selby to Driffield line that formed part of a railway which connected the East Coast Main Line and the Yorkshire Coast Line. It crossed largely flat terrain and the Yorkshire Wolds and serviced the towns of Selby, Market Weighton, and Driffield. The line closed for regular passenger traffic on 20 September 1954, but a service of one regular non-stop train each way plus occasional summer excursions ran until June 1965. The line was abandoned after the last freight train ran later that year.

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.

Lovely Gastropub with outside huts and seating.

The Longhorn Cattle spend Summer in the common and overwinter in Skipwith Village. They are very docile even if you walk between Mum and Her Calf usually more interested in the grass
