visited when moving up from Northants to Nafferton I wanted some large wheels for my garden . Phil sourced them and delivered them for me. A lovely place to browse around and lots of lovely things to purchase. And Phil was a lovely man.

Reviewed By dcollier - Leeds, United Kingdom

Great pub with great food. Staying in the area for a few nights and thought we’d try the Black Swan. Very welcoming and very safe in the current climate. Dog friendly so our whippet enjoyed the trip and got to meet Ernie! The steak and ale pie was excellent and I would definitely have it again. Good value.

Waggoners' Memorial

Reviewed By NicolaD914 - Kingston-upon-Hull, United Kingdom

I always find this WW1 memorial fascinating in it’s graphic depiction and commemoration of the local ‘Pals’ regiment made up of Sledmere estate men and other villagers known as the Waggoners. The column memorial does not only glorify the Waggoners but also graphically illustrates the atrocities to which the soldiers were subjected. It is an amazing testament to the talents of the stonemasons too. The faces and antics of the villains make grim viewing in places. There is a small museum at Sledmere House across the road which explains the history but unfortunately it is closed at present.

Driffield Canal

Reviewed By H6054UGmaryb

I am fortunate to live within 100 yards or this amazing wildlife friendly attraction. It is a peaceful, scenic location and with a little patience, many different species of birds and mammals can be seen. Free range eggs can be purchased at the cottage by the lock and the chickens that lay them are to be seen pecking away in the garden.Kingfishers, herons, egrets, swans, water rail, many species of ducks, gulls and terns and more can be seen and those who are particularly fortunate may see otters. Trout of varying sizes can be seen in the canal and birds of prey such as red kites, buzzards and sparrow hawks can be seen soaring overhead. Well worth a visit for an easy and interesting wander. Enjoy!
