Markington North Yorkshire Map

About Markington

Markington, a tranquil hamlet of North Yorkshire, breathes the quietude of the Yorkshire Dales' fringe. It lies 6.4 km south-south-west of Ripon (from Ripon: bearing 200°T, OS grid SE 290 651), and is situated west of Wormald Green village. The ancient stones of St. Mary's Church, with its sturdy Norman tower, rise from a gentle rise, catching the soft, diffused light that frequently washes over this part of England. The surrounding fields, a patchwork of rich, dark earth and verdant pasture, often hold the lowing of cattle, a sound that seems to deepen the sense of peace. The village green, a simple expanse of well-trodden grass, offers a focal point for the clustered stone cottages, their roofs a varied tapestry of slate and tile. A palpable sense of continuity emanates from Markington, as if the land itself remembers the passing of centuries with a quiet dignity.
