Tips from the Community
Fryton Lane ends here, where it meets Fryton West Wood. Off-road parking for a couple of cars. Far-reaching views to the north across the Vale of Pickering. Great track to the east, through Fryton East Wood, which is blanketed in bluebells in Spring.

Slingsby Heights, as the name suggests, is the area here above the village of Slingby just to the north. From the edge of Slingsby Banks Wood, you get wonderful views to the north towards North York Moors.

Slingsby Castle was never actually a castle, but a home built in 1620s for Sir Charles Cavendish. It is still quite impressive (particularly in the right light!). It is now a Grade II listed building and a Scheduled Monument. You will have to admire it from afar, though, as it is not open to the public.

There is a fabulous view down Fryton Lane to the hamlet of Fryton from here, but what of course grabs the attention is dozens of miles of the English countryside here: miles and miles and miles of a view to the distant hills on the horizon. The poetry is not all in Switzerland, you know!

This is Seven Bridge, which crosses Seven River here. The bridge dates back to the late 18th century. It is a lovely and green place with the river flowing lazily down below. You could rest for a bit on the bridge before moving on.

There are very pleasant views of the village of Sinnington over the fields from up here and you will be able to see Spaunton Moor to the west.

The overgrown and ruined Slingsby Castle is a Jacobean mansion house built in the 17th century. It is thought that the castle was never completed or inhabited due to the English Civil War. Sadly, due to its state of disrepair, Slingsby Castle is not open to the public but there is a good view from the road here.
