There are several world famous attractions nearby - majestic Castle Howard, beautiful Sledmere House, and of course the historic city of York.

Pocklington is also home to Madhyamaka Kadampa Meditation Centre, known worldwide for its meditation courses and retreats, plus the KP Golf Club is situated approx. 1 mile away and offers wedding and other event facilities, a stylish bar and a restaurant, as well as an 18 hole championship golf course.
