Bishop Wilton Wold
Bishop Wilton Wold is the highest point of the Yorkshire Wolds in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The summit, known as Garrowby Hill, lies about 5 miles north of Pocklington.
As with most of the wolds, it is wide, flat and agricultural in nature. The A166 road passes right by the top. However it is a Marilyn. There is a trig point, two covered reservoirs and an aerial.
The British artist David Hockney painted the view from the summit in 1998.Around 10 am on 7 February 1944 a Halifax MkV DK192 from 1663 HCU based at RAF Rufforth crashed on Garrowby Hill.
As well as the 7 aircrew who were on a training flight, a passing lorry driver was also killed.
There is a memorial in a layby on the A166 at Garrowby Hill
Yorkshire-born artist David Hockney produced a painting of Garrowby Hill in 1998.
