Visually striking, the Church of St John, Howsham is a Grade I listed church built by the architect George Edmund Street. It's a unique and interesting church with a distinctive bell tower and geometrical gothic design. Also features a painted ceiling and stained glass windows by Clayton and Bell, with "plate-traceries which are indeed stars as seen from within".

Small pond and ford at the southern end of Howsham Wood, on the public footpath between Howsham and Westow.

Howsham Mill, attributed to John Carr of York, is a well-preserved example of an 18th-century watermill. The mill uses both a restored waterwheel and Archimedes screw to generate electricity, providing a sustainable energy solution for the local area, and the site is part of a larger effort to promote environmental awareness and education, showcasing how renewable energy can be implemented in a historical setting.

The wood is part of a larger circular trail, including Kirkham Priory and the River Derwent, offering varied scenery and views. Very easy forest track running through the centre of the wood.

he church, approached through an attractive lychgate, has many fine features. The nave and chancel extend for 80 feet; there are 6 bells by Warner of London, some beautiful stained glass, a 2-manual Willis organ and several interesting wall memorials.

The remains of this Augustinian priory include a gatehouse adorned with the De Roos family heraldry. You can also learn about the priory's role in World War II, including Winston Churchill's secret visit and its use in training and testing for D-Day.

The section between Howsham and Kirkham is scenic, surrounded by mixed deciduous woodland, the river is home to white-clawed crayfish, brown trout, and water voles, and there are great vantage points from which to view the weirs at Howsham Mill and Kirkham.

Do read the signs rather than assuming as I did.. it's a permissive footpath, not a bridleway despite initial appearances. Stick to the road if you're cycling! If I'd been out for a walk or trail run, they're beautiful surroundings!
