Following the relaxation of Covid restrictions, it was a pleasure to be able to drive the short distance up the road to visit Stavely again. On a bright, spring morning it was a pleasure to stroll around the reserve and, with the addition of a couple of new hides, foliage clearance etc., it looks as though the staff and volunteers have been busy. The paths were all clear and dry, and even the footpath on the other side of the river Tutt is clear and very easy to walk on. There weren’t huge numbers of birds during our visit, but it was a pleasure nevertheless to sit for a while on a bench overlooking one of the lagoons and simply watch the comings and goings of the ones that are there. It is always a pleasure to come here.

What a gem! Minskip Farm shop and their new restaurant is well worth a visit. The fruit and veg in the shop is so well displayed and you will find niche products that are out of the ordinary plus gift ideas . The restaurant is FUN. Great decoration and the swing seating keeps the children happy for hours. And the staff are warm and welcoming . Outside you can visit pigs, hens, chickens and the sweetest alpacas. There is plenty to do, see , eat and buy for all the age ranges. We have made several visits to Minskip and the delightful owners, Ben and Emma, work hard to provide a great service and expand our experience. Well done to you both and all the staff. Mary and Les

If you like the big skies of a floodplain walk with the added interest of a sleepy river, Roman remains, and and achingly pretty village (Aldborough), then you’ll enjoy this relatively short walk. The day we did it the weather was perfect, and we finished with lunch at the Ship Inn. Perfect.

Reviewed By S6761WOphilh - Doncaster, United Kingdom
Erected in prehistoric times and distinctively grooved by millennia of rainfall, the tallest stone is 22.5 feet (6.85 m) in height, making this the tallest menhir in the United Kingdom after the 25 feet (7.6 m) tall Rudston Monolith.[2] The other two stones are 22 feet (6.7 m) and 18 feet (5.5 m) tall respectively and it is thought that the alignment originally included up to five stones. William Camden mentions four stones in his Britannia, noting that "one was lately pulled downe by some that hoped, though in vaine, to finde treasure."[3] One was apparently displaced during a failed 'treasure hunt' during the 18th century and later used as the base for a nearby bridge over a river. The stones are composed of millstone grit, the most likely source of which is Plumpton Rocks two miles south of Knaresborough and about nine miles from where the stones stand today.[4] The outer stones are 360 and 200 feet (110 and 60 m) away from the central stone and form an alignment that is almost straight, running NNW–SSE. It is thought that they may have been arranged to align with the southernmost summer moonrise. The stones are part of a wider Neolithic complex on the Ure-Swale plateau which incorporates the Thornborough Henges.
