Millennium Seat, Great Ouseburn

Highlight • Monument

The stone at Green Hill in Great Ouseburn is a natural boulder that was raised onto a stone base in 2000 to form the Millennium Seat. Known locally as the Millennium Stone, the boulder has been a fixture on the green for many years and was previously partially buried in the ground. The supporting structure features an engraved inscription from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet: "I have more care to stay than will to go".

St Andrew's Church, Aldborough

Highlight • Religious Site

Aldborough is the site of the Roman town of Isurium Brigantum, and it is believed that the church lies on the site of a temple to Mercury. Two churches successively occupied the site before the present building was commenced, in the early 14th century. In 1318, the building was partly destroyed by raiders from Scotland, but it was repaired,[1] with a north chantry chapel added in 1333, and the north aisle dating from about 1360. The clerestory dates from the 15th century, the roof was restored in the 16th century, and the south aisle was rebuilt in 1827. The church was Grade I listed in 1966.

The Battle of Boroughbridge

Highlight • Historical Site

This board marks the site of the medieval ford where Thomas of Lancaster attempted to break through the Royalist line with a mounted charge. It stands beside the modern road just before the footpath that leads down to the south bank of the Ure — exactly where the ford once lay.

Boroughbridge High Street

Highlight • Settlement

The town of Boroughbridge has a bustling high street with plenty of cafes and a bakery for refuelling and recharging.

Boroughbridge is halfway between London and Edinburgh so was historically an important stopover for stage coaches. In 1754 the journey was 10 days in summer and 12 in the winter so an arduous journey. No doubt the hospitality of Boroughbridge (then Burrow Bridge) was very welcome indeed.
