One way to get to Cawood is to get the 42 bus from York or
Selby - bus stop in York in Piccadilly, and in Selby from bus station or
outside W H Smith's in Gowthorpe. Once you get to Cawood, you can
visit one of the three remaining pubs in the village (pictures at foot of
page) - or all of them, if preferred! Also on this page - Bishop's
Wood; Water Row; Cawood Castle Garth; the local pubs, and a link to
another page of pictures of the village

| Bishop's Wood
|
Bishop's Wood was used by the Archbishops for hunting, and
still has deer. During the First World War, all the trees were cut down to
aid the "war effort"; the wood which exists today is, therefore,
only 80 years old

| Water Row, Cawood - used sometimes to be literally that, before the flood wall was built! | Water Row from the other side of the river - Pinfold Cottage to the left |

| Cawood Garth:

|
|
|
| In summer the hedgerows are foaming with hawthorn blossom -
lane across the top of the garth; ice, snow and mist in the winter - above
right and right

| Wonderful to have this open space in the heart of the village - thanks to the Parish council | Sunset behind Sherburn Street, seen from the garth (above) |
| Local pubs: when we moved here, there were six - now there are three - no, I didn't close them! Still open are - the Ferry Inn in King Street (right); Castle Inn, Wistowgate (below left); and the Jolly Sailor in Market Place (below right) | |
