St. Margaret's is noted for having a leper's window, or a squint, in the chancel's south wall. These small openings were once believed to allow people with contagious diseases to observe the Eucharist without entering the church.

Parking for several cars, picnic benches a little bit shabby and decayed as of autumn 2025.

The Chalkland Way / Minster Way winds above and and to the south of this spectacular dale, affording great views of its characteristic gorse bushes. A must see and on a par with the equally spectacular Horse Dale, although not quite as deep and long.

Easy to spot if you approach Thixen Dale from Gills Farm to the east, as you then descend southwest into the valley. More pictures and details at https://www.visiteastyorkshire.co.uk/listing/wander%3A-waves-and-time/130364101/

Nice Church in Millington, this is a nice area to observe the church as well as take a quiet pit stop in order to get some energy back. Usually a dog bowl for water with dogs but not guaranteed.
