'Inkwells' was the original village school and was built in 1834 of local blue bank stone with the traditional herringbone cut. The village of Sleights is ideally placed for exploring the moors and the coast, being only 2.5 miles from Grosmont and the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, 4 miles from Whitby. Walks can be taken on to the moors from the door. Goathland, alias 'Aidensfield' in the popular TV series 'Heartbeat' is only a short drive away and offers the chance of possibly seeing some filming.

Further details
The village of Sleights has a post office, baker's shop, butcher's/delicatessen and a well-stocked general store. There are two pubs, both within walking distance and serving reasonably priced meals. If you enjoy fish and chips, Eskdale Fisheries offers an eat-in or take-away service. Both the Parish Church and the Catholic Church are close to 'Inkwells' and a 20 minute walk down through the village will take you to the Methodist Church. The Riverside Garden Centre and tea rooms are well worth a visit. In the nearby village of Ruswarp, you will find Miniature golf, pitch and putt and a centre for hiring rowing boats. Just 4 miles away is the bustling fishing town of Whitby where you will find an abundance of eating places to suit every taste and pocket. Well-known high street names rub shoulders with little specialist shops, making Whitby a great place to explore. Climb the 199 steps and visit Whitby Abbey, seek out the Dracula connection and go on an organised evening walk - if you dare! Whitby offers opportunities for sea-fishing and boat trips around the bay. Steam train enthusiasts will want to ride on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway - steam trains currently run from Pickering to Whitby and the villages of Goathland and Grosmont are well worth visiting. Further afield are the delightful fishing villages of Staithes and Robin Hood's Bay with their steep streets, quaint cottages and cosy pubs. If you like white knuckle rides, a visit to Flamingo Land theme park and zoo is a must. For those with an interest in World War II, a visit to Eden Camp, near Malton will prove fascinating to both young and old alike.
