Carving - Sewerby Hall

The gardeners at Sewerby Hall are kept busy with the huge garden. Apart from the carvings there are amazing and weird trees and bushes and some beautiful formal gardens.

Danes Dyke

Danes’ Dyke consists of prehistoric earthworks, possibly intended as a defence, and woodland that runs 2½ miles across Flamborough Head. Despite its name, Danes’ Dyke had nothing to do with the Danes, and was a much earlier site - probably dating back to the Bronze Age.

Pillbox near Beacon Hill

In this photo, what appears to be a pillbox can be seen overlooking the sea. The pillbox may be a Type 22, if it is indeed a pillbox. Inside, there are metal brackets where a wooden shelf would have been fitted had it been a Type 22. There is full access to this structure but there is little to look at internally.
