Millington Wood is a mature reserve tucked away near the village of Millington in the East Riding of Yorkshire at the foot of the Yorkshire Wolds. The Wood is open all year round to enjoy, there is a circular walk of about 2 miles which takes you through the ancient woodland and at the very top offers some spectacular views across the rolling hills and fields of the Yorkshire Wolds countryside. The path is very steep in places and sturdy footwear is required. The wood is home to many species of animals, you may spot bat boxes on several of the trees as you walk round.

In 1173 Roger de Stuteville built the Norman manor house, the lower chamber of which still remains today. Since then the property has never changed hands by sale, though it has passed from family to family on occasions when the male line has ended. One of his daughters was named Agnes and she may have been responsible for the name Burton Agnes, which was first recorded in a deed witnessed about 1175. The Manor House was encased in brick during the seventeenth century, when it was used as a laundry block.
Built between 1598 and 1610 by Sir Henry Griffith, Burton Agnes Hall is an Elizabethan stately home that has stayed within our family for more than four hundred years. Fifteen generations have filled the Hall with treasures, from magnificent carvings commissioned when the Hall was built to French impressionist paintings, contemporary furniture, tapestries and other modern artwork in recent years. Simon Jenkins, author of England's Thousand Best Houses, described Burton Agnes Hall as ‘the perfect English house’ and as one of the twenty best English houses in England.
Skipsea Castle, built in about 1086, was the residence and administrative centre of the lords of Holderness. William the Conqueror created the lordship of Holderness, a vast area from the Humber estuary to Bridlington. He gave it to Drogo de la Beauvriére, who had fought alongside him at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The king needed a trusted follower there to control the area and the adjacent coastline. Drogo built Skipsea castle as a principal residence and his successors, the counts of Aumale, held the seat for the next 130 years.

The Rudston monolith is the largest standing stone in Britain, standing nearly 8 metres high and weighing a massive 26 tons. This giant block of gritstone was quarried 10 miles away at Cayton Bay, perhaps sometime before 2000BC. The churchyard it stands in is of course some 3000 years younger although the Christianisation of this raised site probably took place much earlier. The top of the stone has been weathered and eroded into a fluted peak similar to the stones of the Devil's Arrows, and a lead cap has been added to try to preserve it.
Sewerby Hall is situated 2 miles north of the seaside resort of Bridlington, on the
East Yorkshire coast. The grade I listed country house is set in 50 acres of landscaped
gardens in a cliff top location on the outskirts of Sewerby village. The house was

Bonderville Model Village, Bridlington
Danes Dyke, Bridlington
Flamborough Lighthouse, Flamborough
A lighthouse was first built on the Flamborough Headland in 1669 but was never lit. The current lighthouse was built in 1806 and acts as a waypoint for deep sea vessels and coastal traffic as well as marking the Flamborough Headland for vessels heading for the ports of Scarborough and Bridlington.
Jutting out miles into the North Sea, the headland has in the past been effectively cut off by the construction, in the Iron Age, of the erroneously named Danes’ Dyke, which encloses five square miles of the peninsula. The end of the Dyke is a deep ravine on the south side of the Headland, where it exits into Bridlington Bay (the photograph at left shows the beach at the end of the Dyke). There are a number of nature trails in the Dyke which can be accessed easily from the car park off the main Bridlington to Flamborough Road. Although visible across the entire headland, the Dyke is not such a prominent feature.
Bondville Miniature Village is a masterpiece, surely the finest model village in the country, renowned for its incredible attention to detail. There are over 1000 handmade and painted character figures, over 200 individual and unique buildings, and carefully crafted scenes of everyday life, all set in a beautifully landscaped 1 acre site. Take a leisurely stroll around Bondville and see its little inhabitants going about their daily lives. Watch the steam train pull its carriages round the track, crossing the river and passing the harbour, where fishing boats and cruisers and moored.
