Boltby North Yorkshire

BOLTBY. Its glory is its approach from Felixkirk, the
lovely ride giving us magnificent views of the Vale of York. After passing
the stone gatehouse of Mount St John (the great house supposed to be on the site
of a preceptory of the Knights Hospitallers) we soon face the splendour of the
Hambleton Hills, where, deep in a valley through which flows the Gurt of Beck
from Boltby Moor, the village lies. Its cottages are of stone and brick, and the
tiny modern church, in 13th century style, has a bellcot.
Just below it a pretty
humped bridge crosses the stream, which runs under the road in fair weather and
floods it when it races down after a storm.
