  1. The Railway That Never Was: Helmsley to Thirsk, 1856

    Look at this photograph of Gowerdale. Green, serene, and — rather importantly — entirely free of Victorian ironwork. It came within a whisker of being otherwise.

    By 1856, Britain’s great Railway Mania was already ancient history — or at least a decade-old hangover. The mid-1840s had ...

  6. Easterside: Where a German Bomber Crashed

    Easterside Hill stands guard over Bilsdale, yet is all too often passed by without a second thought. Perhaps it is too familiar, or perhaps the eye is stolen by the graceful turns of the B1257.

    Its striking form is no accident. A crown of Oolitic Limestone sits upon Calcareous Grit, itself resti ...

  11. Rievaulx Bridge: Monks, Floods, and Tanks

    In 1826, William Turner stood on this bridge to paint his famous view of Rievaulx Abbey. Anyone hoping to recreate his masterpiece today would be sorely disappointed, thanks to the abundance of trees along the river and the endless stream of traffic rattling across the bridge. This three-arched, hump-backed structure, built from limestone ...

  16. The Nuns’ Well: The Last Remains of St Andrews Priory

    The so-called Nuns’ Well in Ryedale is a peculiar sight, sitting incongruously among the trees. A perfect circle, 2.4 metres across, with a stepped stone base and sides, it is thought to be medieval. Its water, fed by springs, is clear enough to impress those easily impressed by such things. It lies due north of the site of the Benedictine ...

  21. #winesofmastodon #winesofengland #winesofyorkshire #Ryedale Back to Yorkshire for Ryedale Vineyards Royal Rose made to celebrate the 70-year reign of Queen Elizabeth “Dry and fruity enough to make a corgi blush” is the description! 😂 Lovely pink colour, sweet, fruity bouquet and a taste of red fruit.
