Fryton is a small village and civil parish in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire, England with a population of around 50. It is located in its own parish west of Slingsby and a few miles north of the prominent estate of Castle Howard. Because of its small size it is often associated with Slingsby for purposes such as the official Census. The village is in a rural location and the parish is predominantly agricultural with potatoes forming an important crop. In 2005 Cherrygarth Farm started to diversify from potatoes and converted dis-used farm buildings into luxury holiday accommodation. These went on to win the Yorkshire Tourist Board's award for Best Newcomer to Tourism in 2006. Despite its small size Fryton features in the history of Yorkshire railways. The Malton-Gilling branch line passed through Fryton until it closed to passenger traffic in 1931. It is recorded that on 31 July 1961 a crossing keeper was killed at Fryton crossing. == Millennium project == This project combined an initial historical survey with a heritage trail. The trail was accompanied by three heritage mosaics, benches and interpretative leaflets. The group carried out preliminary studies of the immediate area before starting the project. These studies uncovered a number of tumuli, earthworks, outline details of a former railway, and Viking, Roman and Neolithic connections. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fryton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
