Bishop Burton

 

Bishop Burton is a village the we pass through on the way to Bridlington, or Scarborough, from Hull.  We've passed through it many times over the years but this is the first time we stopped and walked around for a bit.  Kristy highly recommended it and I'm glad we did.  Such a beautiful little village.  The houses were well taken care of, and you can feel the history.

This cute little house faces The Mere on a street called The Green.  I mean, can it look more English and historical?!

This is The Mere, a pond that the highway drives right along the side of.

Trying to imagine what it would be like to live here.  This is School Green where the local school used to be.

We went down a long lane where there was a long row of these bushes with orange leaves dividing the properties.  Such a pretty color!

Up on top of this hill past The Mere is All Saints Churchyard. A typical church in England that has been around a long time and has an old, cool looking cemetery.

I couldn't get enough of this white house that faces the church.  Those bushes are so cute.

That lantern past Elliot reminds me of The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe.  For a minute I thought we might have crossed into Narnia.  These lamps are not uncommon in England.

I mean . . . this old brick wall with the vine and moss is just so interesting to me.  It tells a story.

Love a good front door/porch situation.  And that redbrick!  We probably only spent 30 minutes or so and so glad we did.  A beautiful stop on the way to Bridlington.  

I love when a house has a name.  You just don't see that here, especially not on the West coast.  Glad we didn't just drive through like normal.
