Risby, East Riding of Yorkshire
Place in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England
Risby is the site of a deserted village and former stately home in the civil parish of Rowley in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is approximately 3.5 miles (5.6 km) south-west of Beverley and 1 mile (1.6 km) west of the A164 road.[1]
The area has an open partially wooded parkland, once one of the largest deer parks in Yorkshire, that is popular with local walkers.[2] It also includes Risby Park, a farm, the Folly Lake Cafe. There are several fishponds in the ornamental lakes of the former hall,[1] which have been operated as coarse fishing locations since 1990.[3] The site also has an octagonal brick folly that is designated Grade II.[4]
