KIRK SMEATON: Selby Parish #9 of 74

Welcome back to Selby! In today's episode we will be looking at the first of two villages which face each other across the River Went and in fact these villages are so close together I was even able to park the car in one walk to the other and walk back without even breaking sweat!
Whilst one village has all the amenities including a pub, the post office and a church the other one is home to the Brockadale nature reserve which will be seeing in that video when it comes out in a few days time. For starters though here this is the larger of the two villages in question.
You have to admire the humour of the locals when you read the sign on the Shoulder of Mutton which is the local pub! There are plenty of floral displays around the village, it's pretty and this is certainly one of Selby's best kept secrets. The presence of Water Mill Farm indicates there was maybe a watermill here on the River Went but that's something that you locals can help me out with
This is the most Southerly village in North Yorkshire and as well as being the Southern boundary of the ancient Celtic kingdom of Elmet. This is home to a largely British and retired population.
Welcome to KIRK SMEATON.
