スカーペンベックの天然記念物・トップ6

Parking for several cars, picnic benches a little bit shabby and decayed as of autumn 2025.

Beautiful woodland walks with stunning views of Castle Howard and unique architectural features like the pyramid on St. Anne's Hill and the Four Faces monument. The wood also features a variety of flora, including rhododendrons, and the King Oak, which has a fascinating information board.

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.

You can find picnic benches at the car park

The small Jeffry Bog Nature Reserve is managed by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust. You can find here wildflowers, including orchids, bogbean and betony. I's quite tranquil here in Kirkham Gorge. And, in addition, if you are patient, you can do some amazing trainspotting: on the opposite bank of River Derwent, the Malton to York train line runs; wait long enough and a train will appear in this amazing setting!

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.

Beautiful, tranquil, nature rich riding

The colourful fields and rolling hills of Garrowby Hill inspired famous artist David Hockney, who painted them in 1998. From the top, you can enjoy the panoramic view over the Wold and its patchwork farmland. There is also an RAF memorial at the summit to commemorate a Halifax Bomber which crashed on the hill in 1944.
