Roos All Saints Church

The church sits alone on the flat East Yorkshire landscape, a proper medieval survivor that catches you off guard. All Saints in Roos is one of those places you'd miss entirely if someone didn't point you towards it - no crowds, no gift shop, just a 14th-century building that's been doing its job for centuries without fuss.

Inside, the real appeal kicks in. The church holds some genuinely fine medieval wall paintings, uncovered during restoration work, and the chancel arch is worth studying if you've got an interest in church architecture. The font's decent too - carved stone, proper craftsmanship. It's quiet. You can actually hear yourself think, which beats most tourist attractions hands down.

This works best for church enthusiasts and anyone doing a slow wander through the Holderness area - it's the kind of place that rewards curiosity rather than demands your time. Budget 20 minutes if you're just having a look, longer if you want to sit and absorb the atmosphere. Free entry, which helps.

It slots nicely into a holiday park stay. You're close to Little Otchan Glamping and Sand le Mere if you want something low-key, or the bigger Parkdean Withernsea Sands if you're after more facilities. Use it as an excuse to explore the quiet roads around Hull and Withernsea - there's something quite appealing about the emptiness of this part of Yorkshire. Don't go expecting drama. Go expecting peace.
