Crayke

England

Crayke perches on a small hill in the Vale of York, about 18 miles north of York via the A19 and Easingwold. This quiet North Yorkshire village sits amongst rolling farmland, easily reached from Thirsk, Harrogate, or York in under 45 minutes. The village's medieval castle mound, topped with 15th-century ruins built by the Bishops of Durham, dominates the local skyline.
