Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A village in north Yorkshire. It was to Cawood that Cardinal Wolsey retired in 1539, hoping to avoid Henry VIII's displeasure at his failure to procure a divorce from Catherine of Aragon. Wolsey's palace was largely destroyed during the English Civil War, but the ornate 15th c gatehouse built by Cardinal Kempe remains.
