A wonderful lake between Castle Howard and Coneysthorpe village, Great Lake is an idyllic place to stop for lunch. Set amongst the Castle Howard parkland, this historic lake provides a lovely backdrop as you ride into Coneysthorpe.

Castle Howard Obelisk

Highlight • Monument

The Obelisk, raised in 1714-15, carries two sets of inscriptions. The first, in Latin, commemorates the victories of the 1st Duke of Marlborough. The second, on the west side is in English, was composed in 1731 when much of the building and landscaping had been completed. It was written with posterity in mind and is the clearest statement possible of the 3rd Earl's aspirations for his family.

The Stray, Castle Howard Obelisk and Carrmire Gate

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is a fun, perfectly straight, but lumpy road that leads to Castle Howard, through the Carrmire Gate House and past the towering obelisk, a monument to the victories of the 1st Duke of Marlborough.

Its a unique road and well worth a pedal along.

Sand Hutton Village

Highlight • Historical Site

Sand Hutton is a small village dating back to the Domesday Book. Hutton comes from the words for hill and settlement so despite the flatlands around here there is a little climb to get up here.

There is a 19th century church, St Mary's, down a lovely tree-lined avenue and the ruins of St Leonard's, the previous 12th century place of worship lie in its grounds.
