Sir, – Another great walk from the D&S Times (April 10). We did the walk on Saturday and it made a very pleasant change to walk in the Ripon area.
The village of Bishop Monkton was a delight and the Masons Arms does a very good sandwich menu, which made a very pleasant change from the usual packed lunch.
The highlight of the walk was arriving at Markenfield Hall. It only opens to the public for brief periods in May and June.
It certainly looks very impressive from the outside and for any reader with an interest in historic buildings I would recommend a visit.
How have I lived so long in the area and not known about it? Thanks to your walk I now will look forward to paying a visit when the house is open.
