ポックリントンの天然記念物・トップ8

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

Natural spring and restored well - information board gives a good background to the site. Lots of ribbons tied on a tree for good luck, which is very reminiscent of the tanabata festival in Japan. The spring that feeds this well also causes the trail to become flooded and boggy in winter several metres past the well (heading east away from Market Weighton).

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.

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

Beautiful, tranquil, nature rich riding

If you like crazy downhill and you decide to give it a try, double check for walkers first as it's narrow and steep
