Pocklington Active Towns
Supporting communities and residents to be physically, mentally and socially active in Pocklington
This website is well worthy of a visit, you will find so much information and free resources for all ages, from activites for children, e-magazines, online board games plus so much more that all contribute towards positive mental wellbeing. We really can't recommend this website enough.
Burnby Hall Gardens
Beautiful gardens with stunning lakes.
Feed the fish, visit the onsite museum or cafe, let the kids play in the onsite park, have a mooch around the gift shop or relax on one of the perfectly placed benches sited around the gardens. Referred to “a jewel in Yorkshire’s crown”, it is well worth a visit to view over eighty varieties of Hardy Water Lilies which bloom on the Upper and Lower Lakes between June and August.
Lots of events take place, read more below.
Kilnwick Percy Hall
Located just outside of the town, the historic Kilnwick Percy Hall is a stunning Grade 2* listed building set within 47 acres of grounds with woodland walks, parkland and a lake.
