Sheepwash, North Yorkshire
Sheepwash is a popular tourist spot in the North York Moors, North Yorkshire, England. It is located on Cod Beck which flows into Cod Beck Reservoir near Osmotherley.
The name possibly derives from the fact that shepherds bring their sheep down from the surrounding moorland and wash them in the beck at the ford. The ford across the Cod Beck at Sheepwash was on an old drovers road between Scotland and the south of England known as The Hambleton Drove Road. Most of the lower lying parts of the road have been converted into modern roads but the section across the North York Moors is still a rough upland track.
The area is bounded to the west by Scarth Wood Moor, which also lends its name to the National Trust car park at Sheepwash. In 2004 75% of parking tickets issued in Hambleton district were handed out near Sheepwash, to drivers parked incorrectly or on grassed verges.

Mount Grace House
Mount Grace House is a historic building in East Harlsey, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.
The house was originally constructed as the gatehouse of Mount Grace Priory, a Carthusian religious house. It was a six-bay building, supported by buttresses. In 1653, Thomas Lascelles converted the building into a house, adding an east wing and west porch. He also replaced the windows and made major internal alterations, including adding a long gallery. In 1901, Lowthian Bell commissioned Ambrose Poynter to restore and extend the house, with most of the interiors decorated in the Arts and Crafts style. The house was grade II* listed in 1970, and is now owned by the National Trust.
The house is built of stone with a floor band, roofs of pantile and stone slate, two storeys and attics. To the left are two bays dating from he 15th century, and to the right are seven bays added in 1654. On the front is a full-height porch containing a doorway with a four-centred arched head, and an embattled parapet with ball finials. The porch and the bays to the left have mullioned and transomed windows, and two gabled dormers with ball finials flanked by embattled parapets. In the outer bays are windows with chamfered surrounds, and the attic contain 20th-century dormers.
