We stayed locally and found this by chance. Being ex military and interested in military history we visited today. I think the entry price is a little steep but didn’t mind as it was something we’ve never done. I found the whole thing fascinating and talks by staff informative. It was designed to withstand a bomb the size of Hiroshima as long as it wasn’t a direct hit. Thankfully never tested.

One of the highest spires in the country St Patricks church was used by the Germans in WW2 to locate Hull. It is a large church for the area and very impressive from the exterior. Here I found a gravestone for an ancestor William Hopper, who was buried in 1796 .

Snaith Priory dates back to the 12th century with much work also being completed in the 13th Century. A daughter church of Selby Abbey and founded by the Benedictine Monks, the Priory is a striking and large building in the centre of our Town. While it is not always unlocked, a key can be obtained from 'The Flower Shack' during their opening hours. Otherwise entry can be arranged by emailing or telephoning the Vicar. ( If you are travelling a long way, please ring a couple of days in advance to ensure we can make contact. Our service is at 10.45am on a Sunday, except the final Sunday of the month, when it is somewhere in our team of five churches. Details can be found on the church notice board, or by contacting the Vicar.

We visited on a gloriously sunny late June Saturday. A large, well maintained car park and then only a short walk to the cafe and entrance. We enjoyed a cake and coffee sitting outside in the lovely weather - plenty of tables and you could sit and admire the good quality plants for sale. The selection of cakes was small but the meals, particularly the sandwiches with salad looked mouthwatering. I did think the Gents toilets were too small. Admission is a very reasonable and good value £11 although free if you are an HHA member. The walled gardens were a joy to walk round, well thought out and colourful, especially the roses and I really liked the large size chess and drafts 'boards' areas. Plenty of seats to sit and take in the relaxing views. Certainly and just from casual observation, some of the walled gardens were wheelchair friendly as was the outside cafe (not saying the inside one wasn't) and a woodland walk that was signed so. The topiary in the grounds is immaculate and there are seats near the water feature to relax before taking a woodland walk. Returning to the Hall area there is a children's playground and the grounds generally do seem to be child and indeed dog friendly. I am not a great Hall person but these are definitely worth a visit. Helpful staff, not too big but nice, light rooms with a lived in feel which is no doubt because some rooms are used by the family and I can understand why. On the top floor there is for a country hall, a truly amazing selection of paintings including Renoir, Manet, Pissarro, Gaugin and Matisse. From a personal point of view it was worth the visit alone to see the Pissaro - 'A Woman shelling peas' We didn't see the ghost who has frequented the Hall in the past! On the way back to the car park, it is well worth spending c 15 minutes in the lovely church. Overall Burton Agnes is a really lovely place to visit both for the Gardens and the Hall. Can thoroughly recommend a visit there.

if you like nature , you will enjoy this walk . A pleasant easy stroll through the woodland with a designated walkway which takes you out on to the cliff top above south landing where you can sit and admire the sea views.

Wilberforce House is the birthplace of William Wilberforce, famous campaigner against the slave trade. Admission to Wilberforce House is free. The museum tells the story of the transatlantic slave trade and its abolition, as well as dealing with contemporary slavery. Galleries also offer a fascinating glimpse into West African culture. The permanent displays at Wilberforce House include journals and items that belonged to William Wilberforce, including original costume. There are many significant items linked to slavery and the campaign to abolish it. Recently opened galleries contain wonderful displays of local crafstmanship, clock-making, Hull silver collection, the East Yorkshire Regiment and Edwardian Hull Last entry 15 minutes prior to closing

We visited based on the recommendation of a BBC book of 100 places that shaped the UK. The museum is based in William Wilberforce’s family home & is now within a vibrant museum quarter in Hull. There is a wealth of information, set out attractively & accessibly, on the house, the history of slavery, Wilberforce’s political battle to end the slave trade, the Middle Passage, the slave experience, the aftermath of slavery, African culture & contemporary slavery. We didn’t manage to see everything in the time that we had. A great visit & it’s free!
