フリデイソープの天然記念物・トップ5

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

Probably the largest and most spectacular dale in the Yorkshire Wolds and simply unmissable. Emerging at the top of the dale when travelling north along the public footpath past Northfield Farm is breathtaking. It is possible to walk to the west along the southern ridgeline of Horse Dale to pick up the northbound bridleway or southbound footpath at the end of the dale, even though this is not marked as a public right of way on the East Riding of Yorkshire Public Rights of Way Map - https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/4ba3481cedba4b2c906cbd117f5bb5f1 - it is open access land - https://test.yorkramblers.org.uk/Region8/Region8a.html

Great views and a well-placed bench above Horse Dale on the Yorkshire Wolds Way. You can see down Holme Dale to the north and Harper Dale to the east.

You can find picnic benches at the car park

Beautiful, tranquil, nature rich riding

With rich chalk grassland and thin Wolds soils, Wharram Quarry Nature Reserve provides important habitats for wildlife in Yorkshire. You'll see butterflies dancing between colorful wildflowers and buzzards nesting in the nearby woods. The area covers 7 ha and is open all year around. Make sure you stick to the paths so as not to disturb any animals. For more information, visit: https://www.ywt.org.uk/nature-reserves/wharram-quarry-nature-reserve

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.

Historic woodland dating back to 1086, Millington Wood is a Local Nature Reserve with distinctive chalk landscape. The woods are a delight in every season: bluebells and ramsons carpet the forest floor in spring, autumn paints the leaves golden and red, and giant bellflowers grow up to 6 feet (1.8 metres) in summer. You can access the woods at all times.
