Bishop Wilton

Bishop Wilton is a small village of 199 households in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, popular with walkers of all ages and abilities. It is situated 6 miles east of Stamford Bridge, which features the famous Bridge over River Derwent, built in 1727 by William Etty. Bishop Wilton Wold lies just north of the village — colloquially referred to as Garrowby Hill, this is the highest point of the Yorkshire Wolds, at 807 feet (246 metres) above sea level.

The village is claimed by some to be one of the prettiest of the East Riding in Yorkshire. A shallow beck runs through the village, which has always been a popular place for children to paddle in. The open grass verges on either side are a habitat for several endangered wildlife species including water voles, toads and newts.

The village of Bishop Wilton features an art gallery, a traditional pup, "The Fleece Inn" and a lavish medieval church dedicated to Saint Edith of Wilton. Restored in 1858–59, church features on the Sykes Churches Trail, one of the numerous picturesque walkers routes on the Wolds, with views across the Vale of York.
