I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:
Land owner permission not required.
The village is recorded as a very small settlement in the Domesday Book of 1086.The name of the village was first recorded in 1086 as Leuecen, and it derives from Old Norse, meaning the farmstead of Leofgeat’s people. It is believed to have moved location due to the Black Death in the 14th century. The Church of St Mary, a grade II* listed building which dates to the 11th century, is now isolated from the current village, and is thought to mark the site of a Deserted Medieval Village. The church fell into disuse in the 1950s, though burials continue, and the main place of Anglican worship is the Church of St John the Baptist, which is in Levisham village, some 2,600 feet (800 m) away from St Mary’s.
Between 1974 and 2023 the village was part of the district of Ryedale.
The Shirehorse Inn, is an excellent place to call in during a circular walk along the Tabular Hills, and Skelton Tower and the Hole of Horcum beckons in the distance.
The Horseshoe Inn, does a great Sunday Lunch and parking is easy anywhere down it’s main street.
The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 02/11/2024. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.
