Robert E Fuller

Showcasing the work of leading wildlife artist Robert E Fuller, this gallery is a must for anyone who loves the countryside. On show are detailed paintings, limited edition prints and photographs of wildlife from around the world. Informative films and live nest cameras relaying footage from cameras hidden in animal nests in the surrounding countryside are also available to watch. Robert is recognised as a leading authority on wildlife and his TV animal documentaries have been broadcast internationally. He spends months in the field watching and photographing wildlife and this depth of understanding makes his work sing out. Original oil paintings and bronze sculptures of wildlife all come to life through his inimitable, realistic style.

Founded in 1100, this historic church lies within the quiet parish of Old Malton and serves as a magnificent example of 12th century Romanesque architecture. St Mary's is the only surviving church of the Gilbertine Order that is still used for regular worship in England, and is a grade 1 listed building.

R Yates & Sons Ltd

Reviewed By johnhouston2 - Knaresborough, United Kingdom

Perhaps it’s an age thing, but I love browsing in hardware shops and this one in Malton (down by the station) is as good as it gets. Actually, by describing it as a hardware shop I’m doing it a disservice, as it is much more than that, and the title of Country Store as used by a previous reviewer is perhaps more accurate. The style and layout is decidedly old-fashioned and perfectly chaotic, with little rooms and sections all over the place, which makes browsing all the more enjoyable. Oh - and when you actually buy something, the staff are very knowledgeable and helpful.

What a lovely, thoughtfully put together place! We visited Wolds Way with our 17 month old toddler, and she loved it! Lots of space to run around and plenty to look at, and the miniature train ride was great. I think this would be good for much older kids too, it’s well organised with lots of interesting areas such as the nature maze with outdoor games and orienteering, bug hotels, bird hide, playground and the mud and sand kitchen. It’s a relaxing place to wander through the wild flower meadows and lavender rows. Staff were lovely and it felt safe and clean in the current pandemic. Large picnic area too - recommend you bring one at the moment as I think the current food offerings are limited.

Wharram Percy Deserted Medieval Village

Reviewed By andycreeduk - Stratford-upon-Avon, United Kingdom

What a great earlier write up from QueenCalvert. I thoroughly enjoyed the walk to Wharram Percy and I do agree that more could be done with this site without destroying the isolated beauty of the area. Was fascinated with the boards but after 40 years of excavations over the village I am sure there must be more still that we could be told. That said, a lovely walk and we just beat the rains! Have no trouble recommending and for me it was still 5 stars.
