This is a countryside idyll. A rural village with just one long country lane in and out, a working village green (one that has livestock grazing it), a village school, a maypole (reputedly the tallest in the UK), a duck pond, a church and a village pub.
This is the village of Nun Monkton, tucked away two miles from the York-Harrogate A59 and with the confluence of the rivers Nidd and Ouse affording no further passage.

If you are a foodie and a bit more, let’s say, adventurous then you get that too. “We are very firmly connected to our pub heritage.
