シップトンソープの天然記念物・トップ7

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

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).

Maintained by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, Rifle Butts Quarry was created to provide stone for the construction of the railway line adjacent to the nature reserve. The site was then used as a rifle range from the 1890s to the First World War.

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

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.
