Welcome to Poole

Poole is a small village located in the North Yorkshire region of England. It is situated on the edge of the North York Moors National Park, which makes it an ideal location for those who enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, and horse riding. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside, and there are many walking trails that lead through the nearby forests and hills.

Despite its small size, Poole has a rich history that dates back to the Roman era. The village was once an important trading center, and there are still many historic buildings and landmarks that can be seen today. One of the most notable is the St. Martin's Church, which dates back to the 12th century. The church is a beautiful example of Norman architecture and is well worth a visit for anyone interested in history or architecture.

In addition to its natural beauty and historic landmarks, Poole is also home to a number of small businesses and shops. There are several local pubs and restaurants that serve traditional English cuisine, as well as a few shops that sell locally made crafts and souvenirs. Overall, Poole is a charming village that offers visitors a glimpse into the rich history and natural beauty of North Yorkshire.
