The route passes two churches of note; firstly St Margaret’s Church Millington, known for the Emmaus stained glass window of 2007, and St Mary’s South Dalton, which has a famously tall spire and contains one of only two cadaver tombs to be found in Yorkshire outside York Minster.
Travel time from Harrogate: 1h 15mins.
Car Parking: The Madhyamaka Kadampa Meditation Centre at Kilnwick Percy Hall (What3Words: ///gravel.tripling.occupations). Long stay parking has become a bit problematic in Pocklington, but the KMC are happy to let us use their car park.
Toilets: Toilets should be open at the car park at the start. The World Peace Cafe (on site) is open from 11am-4pm.
Coffee Stop: None.
