Welcome to Wighill

Wighill is a small village located in the county of North Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 10 miles north-west of the city of York and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village has a rich history, with evidence of Roman occupation in the area and a mention in the Domesday Book of 1086. Today, Wighill is a peaceful and picturesque village with a population of around 200 people.

One of the main attractions in Wighill is the historic St. Mary's Church, which dates back to the 12th century. The church is a Grade II listed building and features a beautiful Norman doorway, a 14th-century font, and a 15th-century rood screen. The church is still in use today and holds regular services, as well as hosting events such as concerts and exhibitions.

Another notable feature of Wighill is the village pub, The White Swan. This traditional country pub dates back to the 18th century and offers a warm welcome to locals and visitors alike. The pub serves a range of real ales and home-cooked food, and has a large beer garden with stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The White Swan is a popular spot for walkers and cyclists exploring the area, and is a great place to relax and unwind after a day of exploring.
