  • The ancient village of Burton Pidsea is a mixture of old and new; discover how the village has developed on this stroll.
  • From the southern side of the village follow a delightful back lane past the imposing Chatt House and southwards past Manor Farm to Elmtree Farm.  Next follow a track and then a path westwards to a green lane.  This lane provides vehicular access to adjacent fields and has the sometimes apt name of Mucky Lane.
  • This is a pleasant stroll from a working agricultural village along a country lane and across the rich landscape of Holderness.  Enjoy the peace and quiet which is uninterrupted except for the birdsong from the hedgerows.

Additional Information
- If you want to enjoy a drink at the end of your walk there are two village inns to choose from: the Black Bull and the Nancy. The latter is on Church Street and is named after a racehorse; in 1851 "Nancy" competed in 13 races and was beaten only once. It is said that many a local made a fortune by backing the mare. After winning the Chester Cup, she made a victorious return in front of a large crowd. The Beverley Town Band played all the way from the railway station to the home of one of her owners, before she was taken back to training stables in Beverley. Nancy's jockey was Job Marson.
