8. Lockton and Levisham villages north of Pickering
Lockton is lovely quiet village on the road down to Levisham off the very busy main A169 Whitby-Pickering Road. The 13th-14th century church of St Giles, Lockton, is worth a visit and please leave a donation to help with upkeep of this fine English medieval church.
Levisham is also a lovely village and larger than Lockton. It has a station on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, seen above, as a train heads south for Pickering. (see also page 9). More pictures of Lockton and Levisham to follow.
* Pickering in Ryedale, close to the North York Moors, is a lovely friendly town and home to the start of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, a major tourist attraction. There are lots of other villages also worth visiting with good walking or pleasant car driving in between them, as well as the many old churches and other historic buildings for the visitor to explore. * * page updated July 21st 2007 * EMAIL Phil Brown * images-photographs-pictures © Dr W P Brown * |
