Wykeham - Out & About
Wykeham is located on the A170 Scarborough to Pickering road,
about seven miles from Scarborough. The village has the vibrant
feel of a living, working community. Between Wykeham and the nearby
village of Ruston, are many small outlets and attractions including
a clothing shop, a craft and tea shop, an antiques shop and superb
fishing and sports lakes.
The church is another beautiful feature of Wykeham. St Helen’s
and All Saints is unusual as the church tower and spire are
separate from the rest of the building. The church was completed in
1853 and was designed by architect William Butterfield.
The nearby Wykeham lakes are very popular with visitors offering
5 lakes, a fishing lodge with lounge, sailing/windsurfing tuition,
boat hire, scuba diving and canoeing.
The lakes are divided into two trout fishing lakes, 1 coarse
fishing lake and a lake for water sports. Nature trails and bird
watching are also available.
There is a regular bus service through this village, bus number
128.
