LITTLE SMEATON: Selby Parish #10 of 74

Now we come to the smaller of the two Smeaton brothers but in stark contrast to the larger Kirk Smeaton, this video is actually longer because of a natural feature within its boundaries where this video ends. Yes, this is a much smaller village with a lot less in it than big brother Kirk over the Went, but I found much more to get my teeth into here. For starters the River Went looked fabulous here, and we cross it twice in this video – once on a road, the second on a footbridge that links the two Smeatons together. It is also on the footpath that one of the quirkiest little features I think I have ever found anywhere is to be seen inside the old red phone box. I won’t give too much away here but watch the video and you’ll likely agree with me! Kirk Smeaton supplies both villages with most of the amenities here but this village does have the park and playground, whilst the pub, shops and school are all located within a short walking distance by crossing the Went. This parish does have its own council though, separate from its neighbour, and as such there still is a parish noticeboard to chuck a TVI card onto! The various quarries in the Went Valley area have caused a modicum of distress to locals here, after one in particular planned an expansion which threatened the very existence of Brockadale Nature Reserve – a steep sided gorge formed by glacial ice melt that has never had its sides cultivated in its entire history. The site is home to some rare species of flowers and is heavily protected and maintained voluntarily by the residents of this parish. It’s there where we finish the video today on a bench that simply invites us to enjoy the view, and in this video, you can too. Welcome to LITTLE SMEATON. **** My name is Andy.
