This is usually unlocked between 9am and 5pm. The tower dates from the 13th century.

3. Beverley Westwood and Burton Bushes

This is a large area of common land grazed by cattle. Burton Bushes is probably a remnant of our native deciduous woodland and is popular with bird watchers and dog walkers. The rest of the pasture is available for walking, picnics, football games etc. Nearer Beverley where the Walkington road crosses the Westwood is a hilly, scrubby area which is near an ice cream van in summer.
