The village of Sleights
inhabits hillsides on either side of the River
Esk and was the birthplace of ‘Flint Jack’,
one of Yorkshire’s great characters. In the
mid-19th century he created fake antiques
which fooled even the real experts. From here
country lanes lead to intriguing places such
as Ugglebarnby, Littlebeck and Eskdaleside. |
