  • Heritage at Risk Register
    CASTLE HOWARD MAUSOLEUM Castle Howard Estate, Ryedale, North Yorkshire The Mausoleum, by Hawksmoor, 1729-42, and modelled on the tomb of Metella, is a major feature of the Howardian Hills. Situated on a bluff east of Castle Howard. The columns were repaired with a grant in the 1980s. The entablature and bastions continue to decay. Much of the damage is due to rusting cramps. The staircase balustrade is collapsing. 304 HERITAGE AT RISK YORKSHIRE & THE HUMBER 305 Y&H HERITAGE AT RISK 2008 Of the 176 entries on the baseline 1999 Yorkshire and the Humber buildings at risk register, 91(52%) have now been removed. Although this is 6% higher than the regional average for 2008, our rate of progress is slowing. Of the five entries removed this year, only one was on the 1999 register. This is because the core of buildings remaining from the 1999 register are either scheduled monuments with no obvious use, or buildings with a problematic future that require a strategic re-think to provide a viable solution. Despite these problems, we are continuing to work with owners, local authorities, trusts and other funding bodies to try to secure the long-term future of these buildings and structures. Just over half (52%) of the regional grants budget (almost £500,000) was offered to eleven buildings at risk in the last financial year. There are four new entries this year: in North Yorkshire, St Leonard’s Church at Sand Hutton, and in West Yorkshire, Hopton Congregational Church in Mirfield,Westwood Mills at Linthwaite, and Stank Hall near Leeds.This gives a total of 122 Grade I and II* listed buildings and scheduled monuments at risk entries on the Yorkshire and the Humber register.

The original idea was to pull together lots of old photographs and postcards and publish a Topcliffe scrapbook. However, it seemed to me to be also an opportunity to have another look at the history of Topcliffe and try to dig a little further into the knowledge than had been written in other histories. This then is the latest in a line of Topcliffe's histories produced by such people as J. B. Jefferson in his history of Thirsk in 1821, Edmund Bogg in his various histories of the Vale of Mowbray and Mary Watson in her Topcliffe Book in the late 1970s.

  • This Walk Description Is from Happyhiker.Co.Uk Addleborough
    This walk description is from happyhiker.co.uk Addleborough and Bainbridge Starting point and OS Grid reference Free car park at Thornton Rust (SD 972888) Ordnance Survey map OL30 Yorkshire Dales – Northern and Central area. Distance 7.2 miles Date of Walk 20 January 2016 Traffic light rating Introduction: If, when passing through Wensleydale, you have ever spotted a distinctive, flat topped hill with steep stone cliffs, the chances are that it will have been Addleborough. Its prominence, at 1575ft (480 metres) led to it being used as a lookout station by the Romans and before them, Bronze Age people buried a chieftain there beneath a stone cairn. Remains have been found to support all this. From its summit, there are great views all round, not least looking down to the pretty lake of Semer Water. A bonus of this walk is that it incorporates the lovely village of Bainbridge, not surprisingly on the River Bain, reputedly the shortest in Britain at two and a half miles in length. By the river is a huge Archimedes Screw installed in 2011 to generate hydro-electricity. The village has a very pretty centre and village green with stocks – so behave! Consequently, it is something of a “honeypot” village which can get very busy with visitors at peak periods. Refreshments can be obtained at the Rose and Crown Hotel – great pies! The walk follows a route over Access Land, so not all of it is marked on OS maps. However it is mostly clear on the ground. The walk is straightforward overall with just a short steep climb to the plateau.

    THE TOUR DE FRANCE TWO COLS ROUTE Start/Finish Reeth or Hawes National Park Centre Distance 40 miles (67km) Refreshments Askrigg, Carperby, Castle Bolton, Reeth, Gunnerside, Muker & Hardraw Toilets Reeth, Hawes, Castle Bolton Nearest train station Redmire on the Wensleydale Railway is just off the route A cracking road route taking in the iconic climbs of Grinton Moor and Buttertubs which featured so spectacularly in the 2014 Tour de France. In essence this route heads over Grinton Moor into Wensleydale, follows the valley westwards, then climbs Buttertubs and returns along Swaledale. Of course that means two long steep climbs and fast descents to cross the high moorland in between the valleys. 1. Pass down through Reeth and cross the river. Shortly after on the right is the Dales Bike Centre. The main road then goes sharp left by the Bridge Inn, but you turn right signed to Leyburn. 2. Climb steeply up, cross a cattle grid and continue on passing Grinton Youth Hostel. The road zig zags over a stream and continues to climb up on to the moorland passing a military area. At a crossroads go straight on and descend in to Leyburn. 3. Turn right as you enter town and go straight over at a mini-roundabout. Descend away from Leyburn on the A684, and then take the first road on the right after 1.5 miles signed Preston and Redmire. 4. Follow this road through to Redmire (short diversion to Bolton Castle) and continue on to Carperby. Another short diversion takes you to Aysgarth Falls. 5. Continue to follow this road up Wensleydale passing through Woodhall and Askrigg.
