Nostell Priory, Wakefield (By richrab)

Nostell Priory is a Palladian house in Nostell, West Yorkshire, in England, near Crofton and on the road to Doncaster from Wakefield. It dates from 1733 and was built for the Winn family on the site of a medieval priory.[2] The Priory and its contents were given to the National Trust in 1953 by the trustees of the estate and Rowland Winn, 3rd Baron St Oswald.

TOAL from the Doncaster road outside the grounds, only parking option was a pull in with a locked gate to Ashfield Angling fishing lake. Ok for a ten min flight, but I would not park and walk off as access may be required.

This was within the advisory boundary zone of the Yorkshire Air Ambulance, so be aware.

Brodsworth Community Woodlands, Doncaster (By richrab)

Following the closure of Brodsworth colliery in the 1990s, the community suffered from high unemployment and health and social problems, compounded by the large area of derelict land which became a focus for antisocial behaviour. The site was remediated as part of the National Coalfields Programme, transforming it into a thriving natural space which offers rich habitats for wildlife and a valuable recreational space for the local community.

Visitors can explore an extensive network of walking and cycling trails that wind through picturesque woodland and open meadows, where kestrels can often be seen soaring overhead. The site’s carefully designed wetland areas support diverse flora and fauna, making it a haven for birdwatchers and nature lovers. With panoramic views and peaceful surroundings, Brodsworth Community Woodland is an ideal retreat for those seeking to enjoy the outdoors.

Crossraguel Abbey, Carrick South (By Zipco)

The Abbey of Saint Mary of Crossraguel is a ruin of a former abbey near the town of Maybole, South Ayrshire, Scotland. Although it is a ruin, visitors can still see the original monks’ church, their cloister and their dovecot.

Founded in 1244 by Donnchadh, Earl of Carrick, following an earlier donation of 1225, to the monks of Paisley Abbey for that purpose. They reputedly built nothing more than a small chapel and kept the balance for themselves. The Earl took the matter to the Bishop of Glasgow for arbitration and, winning his case, forced the monks to build a proper abbey.

Dalquharran Castle, Carrick South (By Zipco)

Dalquharran Castle was designed by Robert Adam, the architect responsible for the building of nearby Culzean Castle. Despite enormous investment in the preservation of the 18th century Culzean Castle by the National Trust of Scotland, its contemporary Dalquharran has for various reasons fallen into disrepair and ruin in recent years.

Similarly to Culzean Castle, Dalquharran was designed as a family mansion incorporating castle-style features. It was commissioned by Thomas Kennedy in 1785 as a new ancestral seat for his descendants, after Old Dalquharran Castle (ruins of which stand on the same land approximately 300m away) became uninhabitable. The old castle is now a listed monument.

Overlooking the Water of Girvan, sadly the new castle is also now in a ruinous state after Kennedy’s heirs sold the property in the 1930s. Eventually, Dalquharran became too costly for subsequent owners to maintain and was abandoned, with the roof strategically removed in the late 1960s as a means of avoiding paying tax. Although by early 2017, the interior of the castle were in total ruin and entry into the building was prohibited for safety reasons, Dalquharran stands as an evocative and romantic echo of its cousin Culzean, located a mere 8 miles away.

St. John the Baptist Church, Vale of White Horse (By gasbag43)

St. John the Baptist Church in Kingston Bagpuize has a history spanning over 700 years, with the current building erected in 1799-1800 on the site of earlier churches. The church, dedicated to St. John the Baptist, was funded by the Blandy family, who were Lords of the Manor and owners of Kingston Bagpuize House.

The first church on the site was built shortly after the Norman Conquest, likely between 1076 and 1099, by Ralf de Bachepuise and Adelelm. The original church served the community for nearly 700 years before being replaced.

The present church was built in the late 18th century and was completed in 1800.

The church is a Grade II listed building, recognizing its historical and architectural significance.
