Home via Beningbrough Hall

A vintage Morgan
The fine weather was coming to an end and Mike had exhausted his CPD supplies so it was time to set off for home. We drove back along the Thirsk road stopping off in the small market town of Helmsley for an hour to have a look around. The ladies went to a craft fair while 'the blokes' checked out some the vintage cars in the market square. This seems to be a popular 'half way halt' judging by the number of bikes and bikers in the square.



Beningbrough Hall
We then drove south avoiding the steep hill at Sutton Bank to spend a few hours and have a late lunch at the NT property of Beningbrough Hall and gardens, just off the A19 near York. The hall is mostly used to display a large portrait exhibition in collaboration with the National Portrait Gallery. Mike and Margaret headed home, closely followed by ourselves after a short excursion to the adjacent farm shop.
