My second objective in visiting Tadcaster was to walk to the small village of Newton Kyme and to look at some of the interesting buildings there. Newton Kyme has a population of around 275, but it is home to a number of large impressive buildings. The largest of these is Newton Kyme Hall, set in an interesting landscape park with formal elements. The house dates from the 17th century, but was much altered in the 18th & 19th centuries. The yellow skip towards the right of the house front, suggests that further changes are in progress.
Within the grounds lie the ruins of Newton Kyme Castle, while a medieval church is found off the right hand side of this shot, and an 18th century stone ha-ha can be glimpsed at the bottom left of the shot.
As you can see, by this time the mist had cleared completely and I was able to enjoy a period of lovely sunshine.
A great view on and beautiful capture of, this nice building. Thans for the info.
( An other small road or a bigger road. Depents on you. I search for this ones. . This are small roads to get the farmer to his orchard)
Thank you all for your comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
I should explain that a ha-ha is an artificial ditch, usually in front of a grand house. The ditch has a vertical face closest to the house, usually faced with stone, while the opposite side of the ditch is a gentle slope. The intention is to prevent animals from the parkland (often deer) being able to get close to the house (hence the vertical stone face), while allowing an unrestricted view from the house over the parkland.
