Really picturesque village, grab a coffee at South Cave serviced

Yorkshire Wolds Way drinking water point

There are a few pleasant routes through this wood, some of the tracks are quite boggy due to ongoing forestry operations, however, it is very easy to circumvent these patches.

Archetypal English village with its large village green surrounded by pretty stone houses and two pubs. The open beck runs in front of the houses in Eastgate, each with their own private bridge. The banks of the stream are planted with flowers. A large flat circular stone on the green known as the whipping stone is probably the base of the old market cross but rumour has it that a man was whipped to death here in 1624. https://www.newbaldparishcouncil.gov.uk/about-newbald/

Great views east and west from this Trig Point adopted by the Windmill Walkers. https://windmillwalkers.org.uk/

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).

Maybe someone with greater knowledge of poetry than me (not difficult, I know nothing about it 😊 ) will be able to read, decipher and post an explanation here. I don't recognise the words so googled them, and the opening line "From dark to dark the bird flies through the fire-lit hall" bears an uncanny resemblance to the Venerable Bede's account of a council advising King Edwin of Northumbria whether or not they should convert to Christianity.
