Pocklington, Market Weighton & Millington Pasture – I love cycling in the Yorkshire Wolds!
Cycling in the Yorkshire Wolds is fantastic – and so quiet. This 36-mile, 1912 ft elevation gain circular Yorkshire Wolds bike ride is a slightly tweaked version of Route #13 in Nick Cotton's 23 one-day routes in North York Moors & Teeside: Lanes across the Wolds, east of Market Weighton (tweaked to avoid both Pocklington & Market Weighton, and cycling in the reverse direction – anti-clockwise).
Starting at Burnby, just off the 1079 east of Pocklington, the ride passes the site of the now demolished Londesborough Hall before skirting Market Weighton and heading for Goodmanham. There is then a lovely stretch that takes you alongside the old Market Weighton / Beverley railway line before leaving it to head north towards South Dalton via the grounds of Dalton Hall.
After South Dalton, there’s a long but steady, varied and relatively straight road north towards Kirkburn before heading west to Tibthorpe followed by an uphill slog to Huggate. The slog is well worth it because just after Huggate we plunge into the incredibly peaceful and beautiful Millington Pasture, then Millington itself before deviating from Nick Cotton’s route again to avoid Pocklington. This is a very pretty section which eventually takes us back to the start of the ride at Barnby.
The weather is a hot and humid July day with zillions of black thunder flies!
Be sure to check out my bike ride videos and the other (mainly Yorkshire) cycle ride segments - ideal for use at the gym on an indoor trainer, exercise bike, treadmill, cross trainer, etc! Most are in Yorkshire, but some are in Lancashire, Devon, Dorset, Somerset and Derbyshire.

Pocklington is a small market town and civil parish situated at the foot of the Yorkshire Wolds in the East Riding of Yorkshire. It is located 13 miles (21 km) east of York and 26 miles (42 km) north-west of Hull. The town's skyline is dominated by the 15th century tower of All Saints' Church. Pocklington lies at the centre of the ecclesiastical Parish of Pocklington, which also encompasses the small hamlet of Kilnwick Percy as well as a scattering of outlying farms and houses.
Pocklington gets its name via the Old English Poclintun from the Anglian settlement of Pocel's (or Pocela's) people and the Old English word tun meaning farm or settlement, but though the town's name can only be traced back to around 650 AD, the inhabitation of Pocklington as a site is thought to extend back a further 1,000 years or more to the Bronze Age. Pocklington appears on the 14th century Gough Map, the oldest route map in Great Britain. In the Iron Age Pocklington was a major town of the Parisi tribe and by the time of the Domesday Book in 1086 it was the second largest settlement in Yorkshire after York itself.
Pocklington developed through the Middle Ages while many similar places fell into dramatic decline. Pocklington owed much of its prosperity in the Middle Ages to the fact that it was a local centre for the trading of wool and lay on the main road to York, an important national centre for the export of wool to the continent. Wool was England’s principal export in the earlier Middle Ages. The town's coat of arms shield is based on that of the Dolman family, founders of Pocklington School. The arms were granted to the town council in 1980. The crown at the base of the shield is the emblem of the saints, along with the gold cross, symbolises the town's historic connection with Paulinus of York and the Archbishop of York.
Pocklington is a spring line settlement, located at the base of the Yorkshire Wolds. Geologically speaking, the rocks underlying this area were lain down under tropical oceans, and, when the land rose, the chalk wolds were formed from the skeletons and shells covering the sea floor. The landscape around Pocklington therefore varies from flat arable land primarily devoted to agriculture to the south and west, and grassy, chalk hills and dry valleys to the north and east. A lot of the more level farming country was, from the Middle Ages onwards, reclaimed from marshland.
Near the centre of Pocklington is Burnby Hall Gardens. These gardens are home to the National Collection of Hardy Water Lilies - the biggest such collection to be found in a natural setting in Europe. The Burnby Hall Gardens collection of water lilies has been designated as a National Collection by the National Council for the Conservation of Plants and Gardens.
Day trippers also visit Millington Wood (a Site of Special Scientific Interest) and Pocklington Canal Head, with footpaths along the canal. The canal has been named one of the top ten places to see aquatic wildlife in Britain. Nearby Allerthorpe Lakeland Park has parkland for walking, a lake with watersports facilities, a separate lake for fly fishing, and a BMX trail. There is also a large caravan park for visitors.
Pocklington lies on the A1079 road, the main arterial route between the cities of York and Hull. Pocklington is served by a number of bus routes provided by East Yorkshire Motor Services.
Pocklington Airfield has three concrete and tarmac runways of 1,600 yards (1,500 m), sufficient in length to take RAF bombers during the Second World War, but in September 1946 the airfield was closed. Pocklington was once part of the rail network, with a railway station dating back to 1847. This was closed as a result of the Beeching Report in November 1965.
