Ancient Church
Topic: Day Trips
Today I decided to drive to York. It's about twenty miles or so east of Harrogate. However, it takes a little longer than you would think to get there because there aren't many "motorways" (what we would call a freeway) over here. Mostly there are two lane backroads where you can't get much over 40 or 50 mph at any given time. There was a castle I thought it would be neat to see, but Ryan was fussy and we got a late start, so I basically drove to York, turned around, and came back. On the way, I saw one of those brown historical site signs. It simply said, "Ancient Church." Usually the signs are a bit more specific! I thought it was funny, so I said to Ryan, "I'll bite. Let's go!" It was less than a mile off the main road, in a place called Kirk Hammerton. And as advertised, it was indeed an acient church. I didn't go up to it. I just left the car running and jumped out long enough to get a picture. I don't even know if you can go in or not. However, it was an interesting quick side trip, and Kirk Hammerton was a neat place to drive through.
