The cheerful bustling Tuesday market, dating back to the 13th century, the lofty tower of the 15th century All Saints Church, picturesque old houses, an ancient street pattern, fascinating shopping alleyways and the stunning Burnby Hall Gardens are a sample of the popular attractions. If you wish to extend your walk further why not trundle along the restored pathways alongside the canal. For the more daring, rambles along The Wolds Way will stun and astound your senses. Each delight will ensure Pocklington wins a place in your heart, encouraging you to explore further afield in this scenic region.

The pleasant Pocklington Treasure Hunt Walking Trail is appoximately 2 miles long. Set mostly on flat footpaths, it is suitable for pushchairs and wheelchairs. There is a place suitable for a picnic along the Trail.
