12th century when its Norman name appeared as Jorvalle, recognisable in our Yoredale. We continue through the park for a bit of road walk to High Jervaulx- beware of the ice-cream farm! We'll have to see what time it is. A bridleway takes us to Ellingstring, then the picturesque settlements of High Ellington and Low Ellington.
