Pocklington

We escaped Lincolnshire -on our way we decided to have a look at Louth which we read was a nice town which regarded itself as a centre for gourmet food in the area.
We parked up and had a wander into the town which was quaint enough with a nice market in the centre. There was no evidence, as far as we could see, of any shops which were food related and no evidence of a foodies paradise. They did, however, have a Greggs which may count for gourmet cuisine in that part of the world.
At Pocklington we enjoyed a lazy afternoon in the van and the following day we walked into the town to get the Saturday paper before following a bit of the Chalkdown Way then the Yorkshire Wold way on a 14k circuit. Part of the route followed the path of the rebels who lead a successful uprising against Henry VIII. Well, it was successful apparently at the time but the leaders were stitched up, and strung up two years later for their troubles.
From the top of the high ground you could see, on a clear day, The York Minster.Leer más
