In the 12th century there was already a church on this site, which was largely replaced by a new church in the 15th century. An old pillar survives in an archway next to the organ, and the old south door and its archway are also still there, although they have been relocated. Much of the choir, with the east window, the piscina and the sedilia, remains of the 15th century church.

The magnificent All Saints Church, set in the countryside between Huntington and New Earswick, standson a site that has been some form of Christian place of worship for the past 1,000 years. It's a striking building, boasting beautiful Perpendicular Gothic architecture. Admire its beauty from the outside, or walk inside and discover its equally impressive interior.

In some ways Beningbrough is a real treat. It's on the natural cycle route from Thirsk to York and provides a lovely stretch of very quiet, stately home grounds to cycle through. And if you are a National Trust member you might as well visit when you are there: the gardens are very pretty, and there is a café. On the other hand, the hall itself is rather deserted with very little by way of furnishings. It certainly doesn't feel like a real place, more like a cinema set in between films.

Beningbrough Hall is a large Georgian mansion with extensive gardens and parkland. It was built in 1716 by York landowner John Bourchier III. The National Trust acquired the estate in 1958 after it was given to the country in lieu of death duties. You can visit the house and gardens and there is also a shop and cafe on site. If you're not a NT member there is an admission price to explore the house and gardens but the parkland has footpaths through it and is open to all, as is Home Farm cafe.

Crayke is a small village with a great vantage point over the Vale Of York. Climbing up here beings great views to the south and it a little taster of the Howardian Hills to the north and east. 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.
