A Ride Out To Beckwithshaw - North Rigton And Spofforth!

I cycled to Harrogate, and went for a haircut.
Then i decided to have a cycle around, and kind of got lost!!
I ended up in the small village of Beckwithshaw, so i decided to have a look around as i have never been there before.....


I stopped for a rest and a coffee.





I found a pub and went in for a pint :-)

Then i set off again, and ended up in North Rigton.
Some of my ancestors were tennant farmers here.

Me next to the sign.


The village stocks.

The pub, which was CLOSED!! Due to refurbishment :-(





Me outside the farmhouse my ancestors lived in!




I had a ride out near Armscliff Crag.
Here i am in a field!


Nice views of the Yorkshire countryside.


Then i cycled to Spofforth for a well earned pint in the Castle pub ;-)

Then i went to the other castle, to eat my lunch and finish my flask of coffee!
