Spittal lies just a mile east of Fangfoss, its stone cottages and narrow lanes giving a glimpse of rural life in the East Riding of Yorkshire.

In medieval records, several spittals were listed as waystations for travelers and the poor.

The old spittal at the edge of the village once provided rents that funded a small infirmary and now serves as a local museum.

We spent a memorable summer in Spittal an der Drau, exploring the castle, hiking nearby trails, and enjoying the river views.
