2 unusual facts about Lake Pickering


Lake Pickering

The lake surface rose until it overflowed southwards and cut an exit between the Howardian Hills and the Yorkshire Wolds at Kirkham Priory between Malton and Stamford Bridge, so creating the River Derwent.

At Kirkham, the junction between the two lakes was narrow but the extent to which they were strictly separate varied with time.
