Walkington, Bishop Burton & Woodmansey

The Walkington, Bishop Burton and Woodmansey area in the East Riding of Yorkshire is a cluster of villages set among arable fields, hedgerows and lanes. Villages are linked by public footpaths and bridleways used by walkers and local riders. Community facilities include village halls, parish churches, primary schools and village pubs. On the ridge east of Walkington a group of Bronze Age barrows at Walkington Wold marks ancient use of the landscape and is visible from some lanes around the village.
Bishop Burton is centred on a land-based college with a working farm and equestrian centre which runs training and events through the year and manages an estate of pasture and mixed cropping. Woodmansey occupies lower ground with a scattering of hamlets and farmsteads, with drainage ditches and small streams shaping field boundaries. Local life combines farming, small businesses and residents who use the surrounding lanes and footpaths for daily travel and leisure, and parish calendars keep a steady programme of community activities.
