The Weaning Shed - Location Details

Huggate is a peaceful village set in the gently undulating countryside of the Yorkshire Wolds. The cottage is a five minute walk away from Huggate's historic pub, The Wolds Inn, which offers an excellent selection of traditional English meals. The village post office opens three days per week.

The attractive market town of Pocklington, just 20 minutes away by car, has an arts centre which hosts live entertainment and recently released films. Pocklington has a good selection of shops and a market in the town square on Tuesdays. There are also two supermarkets on the outskirts. For more serious shopping, the City of York with its famous racecourse and National Railway Museum is also within easy reach. Excursions to Scarborough on The Flying Scotsman steam train run from York Station for part of the summer.

The cottage is ideally located for walking as the Wolds Way runs less than 500 yards from the property and the Minster Way into York is less than a mile away. Within a 30 minute drive there is a rurally situated golf course open to the public at Kilnwick Percy, the Beckfisher Fly-fishing School and the Woldgate Trekking Centre for horse and pony riding. The east coast is about 35 minutes' drive from Huggate and includes the resort of Bridlington, well-known for its sandy beaches. The cottage is also within easy reach of the medieval deserted village of Wharram Percy.
