Market Weighton Town Centre

Highlight • Monument

Market Weighton is a rural town with a bustling high street and plenty to offer the thirsty, hungry cyclist by way of cafes and pubs.

William Bradley is Market Weighton's most famous resident. Although born in 1787 he remains Britain's tallest ever man at 7ft 9 inches tall and weighing 27 stone. There is a statue of Bradley in the town and his giant chair still sits in the Londesborough Arms.

Rifle Butts Quarry Nature Reserve

Highlight • Historical Site

Maintained by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, Rifle Butts Quarry was created to provide stone for the construction of the railway line adjacent to the nature reserve. The site was then used as a rifle range from the 1890s to the First World War.

Kiplingcotes Chalk Pit Nature Reserve

Highlight • Viewpoint

Car park 300m to the west if you don't want to walk all the way from Market Weighton. Steep chalk embankment with meadow underneath. Very scenic and I saw a small flock of jet black Hebridean sheep.

Kiplingcotes Chalk Pit Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

Located just outside Kiplingcotes hamlet, Kiplingcotes Chalk Pit Nature Reserve is a disused quarry which is now a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Amongst the chalk grassland, you will find various flowers such as knapweed and salad burnet as well as butterflies, long-tailed field mice, goldfinches and yellowhammers. During winter, you can also spot Hebridean sheep and Exmoor ponies who graze here to keep the grasses in check.
