Things to do around York

[Piff]

Thinking of taking a short holiday in May in or near York. Probably renting a cottage or similar.
Haven't stayed in the area for about 40 years so looking for pointers - things to see, things to do, roads to drive, places to eat, etc

Maze?

There is a maze near Elvington airfield/museum!
Castle Howard is a great place to visit, its about 8 miles north of York just off the A64 towards Scarborough!
One great driving road is the one between Pickering and Whitby, loads of bikes usually in the summer but a brilliant drive through the Moors.
