Biggin North Yorkshire Map

About Biggin

Biggin rests on a gentle rise, its fields catching the low, diffused light that often softens the Yorkshire landscape. It lies 7.4 km west-north-west of Selby (from Selby: bearing 292°T, OS grid SE 544 349), and is situated east-south-east of Church Fenton village. The air here carries a faint, earthy scent, a perennial reminder of the agricultural lands that stretch out around it, their hedgerows a dark green filigree against the paler sky. A quietude pervades Biggin, broken only by the distant hum of traffic or the occasional call of a bird overhead. The houses, built of brick that has weathered to a pleasing uniformity of tone, seem to huddle together as if for company. One might imagine the slow, deliberate turning of the seasons marking the true passage of time for this place, each change a subtle shift in the quality of the light and the feel of the soil.
