Slingsby Castle Moat The moat on the west side of the castle at Slingsby. Here and to the south is the best preserved example of the dry moat, evidence of the moat can be found all the way around the old castle, but it seems to be at it full depth on this side. Talking to the local farmer, he told me that it never fills with water, even after the heaviest of rain, and that it is believed to have a lead pipe to a nearby stream.
The Balk, Slingsby. Slingsby cemetery is behind the wall in the photograph. The Balk is the name of the lane to it

Jen on the front desk was so welcoming and helpful. Lovely room and stay. Only thing that let it down was breakfast. Not much choice hot food and it was cold.

On the way to Malton

Malton

Situated in the grounds of Castle Howard are Ray Woods. There are lots of different paths and walkways to explore, it’s a great place for an autumn walk. This is a picture of a fallen horse chestnut ( or conker ) before it opens up.
