Hotels in Pocklington

This attractive market settlement is best known for its picturesque All Saints' Church and is on the edge of the scenic, gently rolling hills of the Yorkshire Wolds.

The Church

A prestigious Grade I Listed structure, All Saints' Church was built in the 12th century and was remodelled several times in subsequent centuries. However, a church has existed at this site since before the invasion of William the Conqueror, which was founded by the Roman missionary Paulinus in the 7th century.

The Burnby Hall Gardens

Featuring one of the most impressive hardy water lily collections in Europe, the Burnby Hall Gardens include two beautiful lakes populated with large numbers of goldfish. The gardens are also home to the Stewart Museum, which showcases the numerous artefacts acquired by the adventurer Major Percy Marlborough Stewart, who inherited the gardens in the Edwardian period.
