A picturesque Wolds village arranged around a beck, with historic buildings, green valley sides and countryside walks from the doorstep.
Bishop Wilton sits north-west of Pocklington in the East Riding of Yorkshire, where the Vale of York begins to rise into the western Yorkshire Wolds.
A beck runs through the village beneath tree-covered slopes, linking attractive historic buildings, the church, village green spaces and traditional streets.
The village occupies one of the most attractive approaches into the western Wolds. Rising ground, wooded banks and water running through the centre produce a layered landscape rarely found in the flatter settlements nearby.
Bishop Wilton's historic plan remains easy to read, with older houses and community spaces following the valley floor. Views change quickly as lanes climb from the village towards open chalk farmland.
