Firbeck has a rich history dating back to the Domesday Book in 1086 (as Friebech). The village is known for its connection to Anthony St Leger, who originated the St Leger Stakes horse race.

The airfield was opened in September 1940 and was closed in 1948, during this time it was mainly used as a relief landing ground (RLG) and small planes such as the Westland Lysander and the Taylorcraft Auster. After the Second World War had ended the airfield was used by two Royal Air Force (RAF) gliding schools.

Ruins of a small Cistercian abbey in a dramatic valley with rocky limestone outcrops.

The place name Firbeck is thought to derive from a wood streamlet, or beck of the Frith.

The first reference dates from 1482, when it was one of a number of churches placed under the ecclesiastical authority of York by Archbishop Thomas Rotherham. At this time the church was dedicated to St Peter but the dedication was changed much later in history, possibly to distinguish it from the nearby church of St Peter at Letwell. The old church was demolished in 1820, and rebuilt by the Galley-Knight family, who owned the Firbeck Estate from the late 18th century to the mid 19th century. Further work took place in 1844, when a north aisle was added to house the organ and the vestry. Finally, in 1900, a new tower was built to replace the one built in 1820. The church has several fine stained glass windows and interesting hatchments and monuments, including some to the St Leger family. Anthony St Leger was the founder of the famous race in 1776 and the original racecourse was in an oval field above the village near the St Leger’s home, Park Hill Hall.

Mind your step. water isn't too deep if you do happen to slip.

slippery when wet

Great place to stop for a pint.. I believe it opens at 1pm on a weekday.. Dog friendly as well

This tunnel entrance was originally made in the medieval period. The tunnel continues several metres into the bank wall below water level of Laughton Pond, its other end is not visible. A channel from the tunnel links to the river flowing through Roche Abbey. It was probably adapted as a landscape feature of Roche Abbey in the scheme carried out between 1774 and 1777 by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown for Lord Scarbrough.

The Stepping Stones are quite steady but easier to negotiate heading away from the Abbey

Easy hike Lots of Forrest walk

One goes back in time around the grounds

Nice little waterfall in which if you have a good filter you can use but be careful.

Hiking Path goes around the grounds and into the fields. Small car park is available but can get boggy in adverse weather.

Great place to stop and eat a sandwhich. You have to pay to get inside, but there is a large field round the back where you can see pretty much everything.

Man made water fall near roche abbey, not the prettiest but if your near by worth a look. there are stepping stones to get to it.

A bit of a hidden gem. The ruins of a Cistercian Monastery founded in 1147. There are some extensive woods nearby and you can do some fab walking loops from here. There is parking here too.
