Pickering Bridge and View of Hovingham Hall

Highlight • Historical Site

You're just cycling past Hovingham Park, fantastic grounds just west of the village of Hovingham, part of the Hovingham Estate. It would be a very good place to make a coffee stop on your ride here as the place is so green and lovely.

Of particular interest is the stone bridge, called Pickering Bridge. Grade II-listed, within the Hovingham Park, with a gorgeous view of the Palladian-style Hovingham Hall. This ornamental bridge goes over a waterfall and dates back to the late 18th century.

Enjoy!

Sheriff Hutton Castle Ruins

Highlight • Historical Site

Large ruin of a quadrangle castle that you can actually hire for outdoor events. It's a very cool ruin, and makes for a great picnic stop along your way.
