Country Walk from Frozen Valley to Remote Village | THIXENDALE, ENGLAND.

Описание: Join me on this freezing January day as we walk from the frozen Thixendale Valley to the small Yorkshire village of Thixendale in England. If you enjoy this video please consider subscribing to the channel    / @walktheworldaway  

Driving down through the valley to reach this village was extremely treacherous, with black ice covering the single lane road all the way. I was quite relieved to arrive safely and be able to get out the car and enjoy this lovely and unique walk.

Thixendale is a small and remote village in North Yorkshire, England which was historically part of the East Riding of Yorkshire which lies at the spectacular confluence of six valleys in the beautiful countryside of the Yorkshire Wolds, and is situated around 20 miles to the east of York.

The village was mentioned as Sixtedale/Sixtendale/Xistendale in the Domesday book of 1086. Before 1066 it was owned by Gamal, son of Karli whose overlord was Wlatheof, Earl of Northumbria, after the Norman conquest it passed to Count Robert of Mortain, the half-brother of William the Conqueror. The derivation of the name 'Thixendale' is a matter of controversy. Some believe it derives from Sixteen Dales, as there are said to be 16 dales that lead in to Thixendale. Alternatively, 'Sigsten's Valley' has been suggested Sigsten/Sigsteinn is an Old Norse name.

During the eighteenth century Thixendale came into the ownership of the Sykes family of Sledmere House and became part of the extensive Sledmere estates.

The church of St Mary, a Grade II listed building, is one of a number of buildings in the village including the school, vicarage, and school master's house which were constructed to designs in the Gothic vernacular style by George Edmund Street in 1868-70 for Sir Tatton Sykes II of Sledmere.

The church is located on the Sykes Churches Trail devised by the East Yorkshire Historic Churches Group. Prior to the church's construction, the villagers had to walk 4 miles to Wharram Percy to attend the church there. The other churches on the Sykes Churches Trail are in the following villages, some of which have been filmed for this channel: Bishop Wilton
Cowlam, Fridaythorpe, Fimber, Garton on the Wolds, Kirkburn, North Frodingham, Sledmere, Wansford and Wetwang.

The Yorkshire Wolds are chalk hills that run in an arc from west of Hull to the North Sea coast south of Bridlington. At their eastern end the Wolds produce the high cliffs rising to 420 feet above the sea east of Speeton. To the south the Yorkshire Wolds continue across the River Humber to the Lincolnshire Wolds which have a similar geological character. Most of the Yorkshire Wolds lie in the county of East Yorkshire although some of the hills at western end are in neighbouring North Yorkshire.
