The ancient village of Whixley rests between the town of Harrogate to the west and the city of York to the east. Centuries ago, the village was best known for its cherries, which were originally collected to be stored at the Priory of Knaresborough and were eventually sold in places as far as Covent Garden in London. Some houses still existing in the area - Cherry House, Cherry Cottage and Cherry Tree Farm – serve as a reminder of the village’s history. Attractions in the area include The Old Vicarage, The Church of the Ascension, and Whixley Park. Dining options include The Anchor at Whixley, as well as The Victoria Cattal, which is a brief drive outside the village. Within easy reach of the village, you will find the bustling cathedral city of York, where visitors can find the spooky spot of York Dungeon, the cobbled path of the Shambles, and the famous Betty's Café Tea Rooms
