RIPON AND ITS VICINITY. 



sturdy oak, wave to the pure breeze, and shelter the wild hawk and 

 timid ring-ouzle from the pitiless blast, or the fury of the gathering 

 storm." A guide is in attendance, and there is every accommodation 

 for visitors. Extracts from Walbran's Descriptive Account of Brimham

NEWBY HALL, the seat of Lady Mary Yyner, is 4 miles from Eipon, 

 and contains a fine Statue Gallery. A new Church, between the Hall 

 and the village of Skelton, has been erected in memory of Frederick 

 Grantham Vyner, who was murdered by Greek Brigands. It is in 

 the Early Decorated style, contains some fine sculptures, and the in- 

 ternal decorations are exceedingly handsome. See "Memorial Edition 

 of Wallraris Guide; and Harrison's Newly Hall and the Church of 

 Christ the Consoler." 



TANFIELD, a picturesque village on the banks of the Yore, six miles 

 from Eipon, may be reached by railway. There is a fine old church, 

 containing magnificent sepulchral memorials of the Marmions of real 

 History. At Thornborough a mile hence are some remarkable 

 circ ilar Earthworks. A full description is given in the large edition 

 of PTalbmn's Guide. This is considered an excellent fishing Station. 

 A pleasant stroll up the river bank will bring the tourist to 



HACKFALL, where the river Yore ploughs its way at the bottom of 

 a densely wooded ravine withal a charming retreat. The Drive to 

 Hackfall is most enjoyable down shady lanes, ever and anon yielding 

 extensive views of the distant hill country. This place abounds in 

 lovely scenery of wood and water, rivalling even Bolton Woods. 

 The climax, however, is reserved for " Mowbray Point," where every 

 object may be seen that can impart to a landscape beauty, elegance, 

 and sublimity, the sea alone excepted. From this point can also be 

 seen Hambleton Hills, the towns of Thirsk and Northallerton, York 

 Cathedral to the south-east, and to the north-east Roseberry Topping 

 presents itself. Guides are in attendance, and Pic-nic parties are 

 catered for at "Mowbray Point," and at the Entrance Gates. 

 Admission, Is.
