 Selby
|
|
|
Selby, a fair
sized town dominated by its famous abbey, founded in 1069
The town,
said to be the birth place of Henry I, son of William the
Conqueror, prospered under the power and influence of the
Abbey, but declined after the dissolution of the monasteries.
Selby
has an attractive park in the centre with play areas, leisure
centre, a shopping centre, Abbey Walk, and a weekly market.
The Selby
Canal runs from West Haddlesey to the town centre, a good
place for a stroll on the banks of the Selby canal along the
Horseshoe Walk. For the more energetic, there is a 15 mile
cycle path all the way to York.
