モルグレイブウッズ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ4

I started the walk from the church in ugthorp. The route goes through muddy farm fields eventually entering a wood.

the castle

Nice coffee & great place to enjoy the view

The place where East Row Beck joins the sea is a lovely place: on the one hand, you have got immediate access to Sandsend Beach, and on the other (to the west) to Mulgrave Woods. Best of both worlds, with plenty of places here to stop for food and drink.

Mulgrave Woods are managed by the Mulgrave Estate. It's a pleasant and easy walk towards the Old Mulgrave Castle. There are benches and seats provided here and there if you require some rest.

These romantic castle ruins are too good to miss. The castle was built around 1214, and has since been used as a prison, a place for poaching and a hunting lodge. Set in the beautiful Mulgrave Woods.

Easily reachable via various paths, but the estate is only open to the public weekends and wednesdays, and not at all in May

Since its construction, around the year 1214, Mulgrave Castle has been the home of the de Mauley family, of the Bigod family, of the Radcliffe family, and of Edmund Lord Sheffield, president of the Council of the North and a veteran of the fight against the Spanish Armada. It served as a prison for the unhappy captives of the de Mauley's master, King John, and as a base for widespread poaching, cattle raiding, and worse. The last Peter de Mauley left the Castle to his wife, Matilda; it was said at the time to be worth nothing. Lord Sheffield, in about 1600, converted the neglected buildings into a hunting-lodge which, over forty years later, he was called upon to re-fortifiy against a Royalist force. The Castle was besieged twice during the Civil War and then blown up. In 1743 the Mulgrave Estate was inherited by the Phipps familiy and in 1792 the Castle and the sourrounding woodland were viewed by the landscape architect Humphrey Repton. At his suggestion the ruins were romanticised by the Earl of Mulgrave. In order to halt the steady disappearance of the Castle, a programme of repair and consolidation was begun in 1995 and finished in 1999.
