The Church of All Saints, Kirby Underdale, stands on a steep hillside overlooking the western edge of the Yorkshire Wolds and is a notable landmark for walkers in the area. The building has 12th-century origins, with the nave and lower stages of the tower surviving from this period. The arcades and aisles were added in the early 13th century, and the simple font bowl dates to the 14th century. A south doorway of c.1200 retains capitals decorated with a nailhead motif, and nearby is the carved gravestone of Roger Wilberfoss of Garrowby (d.1532). An unusual feature is a Roman stone carving set into the south-west buttress of the north aisle. Found in the rectory garden in 1916, the 2nd- or 3rd-century figure is generally identified as Mercury and is shown holding a purse and wand, with horns that may reference his winged cap. Its presence suggests Roman activity in the area and is thought to reflect an association with good fortune. Inside the church is a memorial window to the 2nd Viscount and Viscountess Halifax, commemorating his role in the ecumenical Malines Conferences of 1921–1925.

A steep climb out of Millington for those that enjoy lactic acid :) , but the reward is the view at the top.

Lovely spot for a rest and a bite to eat before the climb back up the hill.

Northern end of this Dale is wooded, forming the Stable and Great Plantations, and the southern end opens out to clear ridgelines and big skies. Great footpath heads south through Frendal Dale and onwards towards Millington Dale.

Rewarded with glorious views along Millington Dale to the south, Scoar Dale to the west and Frendal Dale to the north after a short steep ascent out of Nettle Dale when walking south.

This part of the Chalkland Way feels very sheltered and peaceful as it emerges from Stable Plantation and Great Plantation into Tun Dale. A great track to follow.

The Chalkland Way / Minster Way winds above and and to the south of this spectacular dale, affording great views of its characteristic gorse bushes. A must see and on a par with the equally spectacular Horse Dale, although not quite as deep and long.
