Pickering
Pickering is an ancient market community and civil parish in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire, England, on the boundary of the North York Moors National Park. Historically part of the North Riding of Yorkshire, it rests at the foot of the moors, overlooking the Vale of Pickering to the south. According to legend the town was founded by King Peredurus around 270 BC; nevertheless, the town as it exists today is of middle ages origin. The tale has it that the king shed his ring and charged a young maiden of stealing it, however later that day the ring was located in a pike captured in the River Costa for his dinner. The king was so delighted to find his ring he married the young maiden; the name Pike-ring changed throughout the years to Pickering. It is a great story told to fit the name, but it is not the beginning. Pickering is believed to be named after the fans of an Anglian man called Picer or some such personal name-- the Picer-ingas. The traveler places of Pickering Parish Church, with its middle ages wall paints, Pickering Castle, the North Yorkshire Moors Railway as well as Beck Isle Museum have actually made Pickering prominent with site visitors. Neighboring locations consist of Malton, Norton-on-Derwent as well as Scarborough.
