It a nice centre point of the town, pretty location along the river with views of the viaduct and other bridges. Tadcaster is worth an hour or so stop off. A nice little place, very simple.

Beautiful traditional church, inside lots of family information. Beautiful windows. The grass was being cut outside, so limited time exploring surrounding grave stones.
