We have lived in East Yorkshire now for seven years and despite its close proximity, have never explored the Roman Road of Woldgate and the Carnaby "Temple". That is until now! There seem to be some excellent walks so as a must, we will return! The images below were taken on two separate short walks.
Carnaby Temple, an octagonal folly stands in fields about 1 mile (1.6 km) north of Carnaby. It was built by Sir George Strickland, owner of Boynton Hall, in 1770 and is locally known as 'The Pepperpot'. The structure is based on the Tower of the Winds which is on the Roman Agora in Athens. The structure has also been adapted and used as a dwelling for farm labourers but is now derelict.
