Tips from the Community
The Pilgrimage of Grace heritage trails commemorate a historic Yorkshire rebellion against Henry VIII, which was ignited by the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1536. An interesting aspect of the trail is how it reveals the surprising scale of this rebellion and the local alliances that temporarily defied the king. The main 8.75-mile trail connects the villages of Warter and Pocklington.

The poetry bench on the ridgeline above Millington is one of several specially commissioned artworks along the Yorkshire Wolds Way. It was created by craftsman Angus Ross as part of the "WANDER - Art along the Yorkshire Wolds Way" project and features a poem by John Wedgwood Clarke.

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

Like all trig points, testament to Britain's 20th Century mapping efforts, but this one is interesting because it sits atop a prehistoric tumulus burial mound. A peaceful spot and quite picturesque in early morning oblique sunshine.

Awesome far-reaching views. On a clear day you can see past York to the Dales, and well beyond Drax to the south.

Home to an Anglo-Saxon cross-shaft that was discovered in 2 pieces and reconstructed incorrectly in the 1800s, so that it is mis-aligned. The shaft contains Anglo-Saxon carvings (biblical scenes, such as the Adoration of the Magi, as well as figures of Christ, the Apostles, and what may be a Celtic Christian missionary), and Viking era carvings showing Norse influence (such as a possible representation of Odin with his ravens).
