The Hurn (Beverley Racecourse) is a fine vantage point on Race days throughout the summer. Good for dogwalking at any time.

Newbiggin Pits, part of Beverley Westwood, was the site of mining activities in early times. Now a lovely green site for all kinds of recreation, including common pasture land for the Freemen of Beverley.

Dist:0.2km<br/>"The wellbeing of the pastures is overseen by the Pasture Masters, a group of men elected from the Freemen of Beverley each March. Although the Pasture Act of 1836 clarified the right of the Pasture Masters to administer and enforce their bylaws, it did not state who ‘owned’ the land. In 1978 the courts decided that the pastures were owned by the then Borough Council; it is now ‘owned’ by the East Riding of Yorkshire Council."
