This highlight lies on a great woodland route to follow that lasts miles if you start way west at Wath Wood just south of Hovingham, runs all the way east through Fryton West Wood, Fryton East Wood, Slingsby Banks Wood and Coneysthorpe Banks Wood, part of which is the Centenary Way. Useful off-road parking area here with room for around 5-6 cars. Great views north across Rye Dale and the Vale of Pickering, and large areas of the woods are blanketed with bluebells in spring. The route is a bit muddy in parts, but easy hiking.

The original Gate House, with its famous pyramid, was built in 1719 by Sir John Vanbrugh, the architect who designed Castle Howard itself. Its flanking wings plus building were built in the 1750s, at which time it was referred to as The New Inn and served people journeying from York to Castle Howard and the Vale of Pickering. By the 1850s, the Gate House had become an inn and an hotel. By the late 19th century, it was developed into The Temperance Hotel, where the ninth Countess of Carlisle would accommodate women and children from the industrial belt of the North to help them to escape "urban drudgery".

Pyramid and surrounding piers, designed in 1728 by Nicholas Hawksmoor. The interior contains a large bust of Lord William Howard. The Pyramid acts as an eye catcher from the main house at Castle Howard and was restored in 2016: https://www.castlehoward.co.uk/DB/news-archive/restoring-the-pyramid
