Apparently this is where Dick Turpin, and other criminals, were hanged in the old days. Slightly weird sitting there with a nice view of the racecourse but knowing that bodies used to swing until dead just where you are sat.

There is a small free car park at Tadcaster just over the bridge by the bus station. If you go there early it’s a good starting place/end place for a variety of rides.

Bishopthorpe Palace Gatehouse

Highlight • Monument

Bishopthorpe Palace is situated along the beautiful River Ouse south of the city centre of York. It's the official home of the Archbishop of York, and has been for all previous Archbishop's of York since 1241.

Whilst the inside of the palace is only open for pre-arranged tours with quite a long waiting list, you can still admire the palace and its beautiful gatehouse from the footpath outside.
