kyska Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 The buttertubbs pass is one of the U.K. Best driving roads. Stunning views everywhich way you look. I went a few weeks back in the tiger, it slows you down when you realise the arresting cables are higher than the car, and would decapitate you if you got it wrong... Stunning though.

arm3000gt Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Jorvik Centre for a bit history in York. York Minster and Beverley Minster not far away are both impressive even if you are not into the whole God thing. You can got to the top of Beverley Minster if i remember for a nice view over the area. Beverley also has a few nice pubs hidden away. The Shambles in York is also nice if you are into old buildings and history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7daysinaweek Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Yes buttertubs & White scar caves Ahh, White scar caves, have done it may times and never tire of it, go back about every five or six years, if you go, look out for the famous witches fingers and the sword of Damocles. Wonderful those dark and dank places of the earth! I must go back! atb 7diaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

del.gue Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 We stayed in kilburn last year. The church in the village has carvings of mice on the pews. So does the local pub. It is the home of "mouseman" furniture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guzzicat Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 "Mousey "Thompson, carved a mouse on all of his work, started when he & a workmate were renovating a church,he carved a mouse & said they would always be as poor as church mice.The publican of the Punch Bowl in Edmondbyers in the seventies showed me a wooden punch bowl gifted to him by Mousey with the Roses of York & Lancaster carved in the bottom, I saw no mouse, "Feel under the rim", sure enough there it was. A true master. Interestingly, the Village is called Edmondbyers on the plate going West, & Edmundbyers goingEast, Signwriters must have visited the Pub.
