Millington is a pretty little village, with many walks from the door to suit all abilities and loads more beautiful walks within 10 mins driving distance. We particularly enjoyed Millington Woods (beautiful flora) parts of the Wolds Way, Thixendale and Wharram Percy. We visited Burnby Hall gardens where the tulips were stunning. We didnât use the pub but the tea room opposite soon became a favourite! The Mile farm shop a few mins away was useful for bread, milk etc. everything there being sourced and produced in Yorkshire. As we self catered for the whole week, we could have made use of an extra saucepan and a Pyrex dish or two but we had a lovely holiday and would love to return. We did find out a little about Fran but weâre curious to know more. Next time, weâll go to the village coffee morning to see if we can satisfy our curiosity! Thank you for a lovely stay.
