Common Farm is situated between the market towns of Pocklington and Market Weighton, both of which offer a wide range of shops, restaurants, pubs and services.

 

Pocklington, is a small market town situated at the foot of the Yorkshire Wolds. The town's skyline is dominated by a 15th-century church tower. The town’s architecture is a mixture of quaint old houses and modern buildings and the town has several unusual street names reflecting its history from the Iron Age onwards.


Pocklington hosts a market every Tuesday in the main square, it also has many shops and two supermarkets. There are several pubs, some of which serve food daily. It also boasts an Indian, Chinese, Italian and English restaurant which are open both lunch and evenings. There are several take aways, including Fish & Chips, Pizzeria and Chinese.


The Pocklington Arts Centre, which opened in 2000, "offers a mixed programme of Film, Music, Drama, Dance, Lectures, Workshops and Exhibitions". Previous performers at the Arts Centre include the comedians Jenny Éclair, Clive James, Dave Gorman and Barry Cryer and the musicians Midge Ure and Steve Harley.


The town also has a council-run sports centre, which includes a swimming pool and gym.


There are two golf clubs lying just outside Pocklington :

Allerthorpe Park Golf Club - 18-hole course

These gardens are home to the National Collection of Hardy Water Lilies - the biggest such collection to be found in a natural setting in Europe.
