Encyclopedia : B : BI : BIS : Bishop Wilton Wold
Bishop Wilton Wold is the highest point of the Yorkshire Wolds in the East Riding of Yorkshire. The summit, known as Garrowby Hill, lies about 8 km north of the town of Pocklington.
As with most of the wolds, it is wide, flat and agricultural in nature. The A166 road passes right by the top. There is a trig point, two covered reservoirs and an aerial.
The British artist David Hockney painted the view from the summit in 1998.
