We visited a number of sites on the Yorkshire Wolds looking at features in the landscape and interpreting their historical significance. We saw iron age earthworks around Millington, enclosure and medieval field systems, the site of an aristocratic manor and its estate at Londesborough, a Roman road and holloway at Warter, the moat of what was Leconfield castle and the site of a Gilbertine priory at Watton.
We were treated to views of hares, deer and a kestrel. We saw ancient coppices and pollards and avenues of horse chestnut and walnut trees. We visited coverts planted to encourage game after the enclosures.
