Winter through the hedgerow

Winter through the hedgerow
Best enlarged

The view is to the south towards the village of East Ayton in the Vale of Pickering with the Yorkshire Wolds beyond. The hills are formed from chalk, and make an arc from the Humber estuary west of Hull up to the North Sea coast between Bridlington and Scarborough.

The Yorkshire Wolds are low hills in the counties of East Riding of Yorkshire and North Yorkshire in north-eastern England. The name also applies to the district in which the hills lie.

On the western edge the Wolds rise to an escarpment which then drops sharply to the Vale of York. The highest point on the escarpment is Bishop Wilton Wold (also known as Garrowby Hill), which is 807 feet (246 m) above sea level. To the north, on the other side of the Vale of Pickering, lie the North York Moors, and to the east the hills flatten into the plain of Holderness.

The largest town in the Wolds is Driffield, with other places including Pocklington, Thixendale and Kilham, the original capital of the Wolds. The highest village on the Yorkshire Wolds is Fridaythorpe at 550 feet (170 m) above sea level.

Thanks very much for the visit and kind words Bill. Most most of the snow has now gone, just a few patches left on the higher ground but as it is going to rain all day I imagine that will soon disappear.

All the best, Doug

Thanks very much for your visit and kind comments Andy. Yes the names are fascinating. My favorite is Fryup which located alongside Great Fryup Beck in Great Fryup Dale. Fryup is separated into two small dales: Great Fryup Dale and Little Fryup Dale. Certainly a popular name!

All the best, Doug

Down south it would be called 'Lightly Grilled with a Rosemary Jus Coombe' no doubt!

Thanks very much for your visit Andrea. You would find the land a little flat compared to your home, but it has a beauty of its own.

Best regards, Doug
