Scholars describe Ryther Castle as a modest, fortified manor, likely never having substantial defences. It is also known by the name Hall Garth, referring to the field where it stood. The castle's decline is suggested by a 1440 report on Sir William Ryther's estate, which described the manor house and several cottages as being in a "ruinous" or "waste" condition. By the time the de Rhythre family relinquished the estate, the structure was a total loss. Today there is nothing to see here, merely an overgrown beck and bog, largely obscured by trees.

Lots of signage on this route. Some directional and some informative.

Spectacular abbey for such a small town. Interesting info board describing the 19th Century cholera epidemic and associated graveyard, much like the one just outside the walls opposite York Station.

Grade I listed building. The surviving fifteenth-century structures formed part of a fortified medieval palace belonging to the Archbishops of York, which was dismantled in the aftermath of the English Civil War. The only remaining parts of the castle are the gatehouse and the banqueting hall. Stones from the destroyed castle were used in the construction of surrounding houses. The foundations of some other structures do remain as well as the castle's cellar, which was excavated in the 19th century. The gatehouse served as a courthouse until the 1930s, before being used as an officers' mess and a building for the Home Guard during World War II. The first fortifications on this site are believed to be those built by King Athelstan in the 10th Century.

Grade II listed swing bridge opened in 1872. The deck was submerged when the River Ouse flooded in 2015.

The oldest part of the church is the west wall, dating from the mid- or late-12th century. The chancel and south aisle were added in the 13th century. The church was first recorded in 1294, but is believed to have previously been a chapel of Cawood Castle. In the churchyard is a stone with a cup-like hollow, believed to have been used for depositing donations for lepers.

Often sited in country parks, estates, hilltops or village greens, brazier beacons become a lasting memorial and are used to mark many occasions or events. This one is located with a bench in the shape of a viking longship.

Selby Abbey has been an important place of worship for over 900 years. You can visit or attend services here. Look out for the world-famous stained-glass windows and medieval architecture. There is also a cafe and gift shop. The abbey is open to public visiting daily from 10:00 - 16:00. Entry is free but they ask for any donations as it's expensive to look after.

It's a bit bumpy-lumpy in places if you're on a road bike with skinny tyres but still nice to ride. Can get a bit muddy when it's wet.

The Longhorn Cattle spend Summer in the common and overwinter in Skipwith Village. They are very docile even if you walk between Mum and Her Calf usually more interested in the grass

Educational as well as lovely route through the countryside https://www.york.ac.uk/solar/ https://youtu.be/6-aH3pNqVdM

Skipwith Common is an area of over 500 acres of lowland heath - one of the last remaining areas in the North of England. A nationally important nature reserve, it is managed by English Nature, principally because of insect and birdlife. The Common also contains ancient burial sites. Today we saw wild ponies and long horned cattle. Such a beautiful place to visit and spend some time there

This scale model of the Solar System is spread out along 6.4 miles of the old East Coast main-line railway. Along it you can find scale models of all the planets in our solar system as well as models of the Cassini and Voyager spacecraft
