The Domesday Book makes reference to the historic parish of Brayton, a small but charming settlement that dates to Saxon times. There are a number of neighbourhood stores, a butcher, and a lovely town green in addition to a Norman church and an older Methodist chapel. The mediaeval town of Selby, a true hidden gem with an amazing abbey and a superb selection of eateries, is only a couple of miles away. The wonderful city of York, which is also nearby, is brimming with attractions for tourists, including the Minster, its mediaeval walls, boat trips on the River Ouse, York Races, museums (such as the well-known National Railway Museum and the Castle Museum), and the internationally renowned Jorvik Viking Centre and its “time trip” experience. a fantastic vacation spot.
