Appleton Lane Path

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

Much of Appleton Lane, between Appleton-le-Street and Banks Wood, runs along the parish boundaries between the administrative boundaries of Barton-le-Street and Appleton-le-Street with Easthorpe. It's a very pleasant walk, with some fine views from the edges of fields to North York Moors, and some occasional patches of woodland. Well-managed, and for walkers of any kind.

Coneysthorpe Banks Wood

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

Coneysthorpe Banks Wood is a pleasure to walk in. Easy paths take you through this peaceful forest. Halfway through on this stretch, you will find yourself on the northern edge of the wood, with truly fantastic views from above over the Vale of Pickering to the north (North York Moors). And in the summer, the yellow rapeseed fields here are simply beautiful to look at.

Church of St Michael and All Angels

Highlight • Religious Site

The first church on this site was already in 1086 as recorded in Domesday Book. This one is potentially a third church on here, rebuilt in 1870-71 to replace a previous, medieval one. Some Romanesque sculpture fragments were used in the reconstruction of it.
