Welcome to Silpho

Silpho is a small village located in the North Yorkshire region of England. It is situated in the midst of the beautiful North York Moors National Park, which is known for its stunning landscapes and scenic beauty. The village is surrounded by rolling hills, lush green forests, and picturesque countryside, making it an ideal destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.

One of the most notable attractions in Silpho is the Silpho UFO incident, which occurred in 1957. The incident involved the discovery of a strange object in a field near the village, which was believed to be a UFO. The object was later taken to a laboratory in London for analysis, and it was found to contain a small piece of metal that was unlike anything that had been seen before. The incident has since become a popular topic of discussion among UFO enthusiasts and conspiracy theorists.

Apart from the UFO incident, Silpho is also home to several historic landmarks and attractions. The village is home to a number of ancient churches and buildings, including the St. Mary's Church, which dates back to the 12th century. The village also has a number of walking trails and hiking routes, which offer stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Overall, Silpho is a charming and picturesque village that is well worth a visit for anyone looking to explore the beauty of North Yorkshire.
