Fryton Lane ends here, where it meets Fryton West Wood. Off-road parking for a couple of cars. Far-reaching views to the north across the Vale of Pickering. Great track to the east, through Fryton East Wood, which is blanketed in bluebells in Spring.

The original Gate House, with its famous pyramid, was built in 1719 by Sir John Vanbrugh, the architect who designed Castle Howard itself. Its flanking wings plus building were built in the 1750s, at which time it was referred to as The New Inn and served people journeying from York to Castle Howard and the Vale of Pickering. By the 1850s, the Gate House had become an inn and an hotel. By the late 19th century, it was developed into The Temperance Hotel, where the ninth Countess of Carlisle would accommodate women and children from the industrial belt of the North to help them to escape "urban drudgery".

Pyramid and surrounding piers, designed in 1728 by Nicholas Hawksmoor. The interior contains a large bust of Lord William Howard. The Pyramid acts as an eye catcher from the main house at Castle Howard and was restored in 2016: https://www.castlehoward.co.uk/DB/news-archive/restoring-the-pyramid

There is a fabulous view down Fryton Lane to the hamlet of Fryton from here, but what of course grabs the attention is dozens of miles of the English countryside here: miles and miles and miles of a view to the distant hills on the horizon. The poetry is not all in Switzerland, you know!

To the south-east of here, both Wath Beck and Sawmill Beck meet. From above here, there are gorgeous grassy and green views of the hills. A perfect place to spend some time from away of it all.
