St Cuthbert's Church
Highlight • Religious Site
The church dates from around 1490s, and is likely to have been built on the site of a previous Anglo-Saxon church. It was restored in the 19th century. Inside, there are a number of historical wonders: a 15th century font and a 16th century pulpit.
A fantastic place to see, and has that sense of Christendom that I like. "A proper church", if you ask me.

Crayke Village and Castle
Highlight • Pub
Crake has its own castle which is a grade I listed building. It is privately owned and on the site of a Norman Motte and Bailey Castle. It is believed there has been a fortress on this high position since the Roman times.
Crayke Castle is not the only interesting building though, this small village has 28 grade II listed buildings. The local pub, the Durham Ox is 300 years old and is beautiful inside with flagstone floors and ornately carved oak panelling.
