Pocklington is a classic English market town, located just 15 miles (24 km) from the city of York. Pocklington is known for its red-roofed buildings and unusual street names. The town has an array of independent shops and places to eat, and a number of attractions worth checking out. Among the town's treasures lies Burnby Hall Gardens, a horticultural haven often referred to as the 'jewel in Yorkshire's crown' – a mandatory stop for anyone visiting.

It's a magnificent experience walking in Pretty Wood, which is very appropriately named - it's very pretty here! On your way, you will pass the ancient tree, King's Oak, which is thought to be over 400 years old. Further into the forest, you will come upon the Four Faces monument from the 18th century. And outside of these, it's a beautiful forest to be in.
