A trip out with my support worker today, the first time this year. We went to Towton near Tadcaster and did the battlefield walk, an easy circuit of about three miles with about a dozen very detailed information panels about Britain's bloodiest battle which took place during the Wars of the Roses.
The first place we visited though was the village of Saxton about a couple of miles before the start of the walk.
We then drove to the roadside cross which indicates the start of the Battlefield Walk; the walk took us just over an hour going through gently undulating countryside. The information boards, although detailed didn't seem that relevant to me, concentrating mainly on the characters involved and not the actual battle.
Our next sop was Tadcaster for fish and chips.
We then drove two miles to Newton Kyme, a pretty hamlet I'd researched online.
We then set off for home, going a different route via Selby. I had to ask Siobhan to stop so that I could photograph this sign at Ryther...and the church there of course.
We planned to next stop at Cawood but couldn't find anywhere to park, so we continued on to Selby and did some grocery shopping at the supermarket. The road heading south to Doncaster was closed and so we had to follow a diversion taking us via Snaith.
