The National Park

The North York Moors National Park is the largest continuous expanse of open moorland in the UK. The landscape is famous for its wild moorland, stunning coastline, hidden dales, pretty villages and market towns.

Star Gazing

All of our cottages are blessed with access to the beautiful dark skies available within the North Yorkshire Moors. We have binoculars you can borrow to better observe the night sky. The North York Moors National Park offers a series of dark sky events throughout the year.

You can find out more through the great mobile app Night Sky.

Walking

The farm is at the centre of some of the best walking in the North of England.
The moors are truly un-spoilt and offer both simple and challenging routes for all levels of fitness. As well as the Lyke Wake Walk, Cleveland Way, and the Coast to Coast, we are surrounded by miles of moorland, woodland and coastal paths. Walks such as Levisham Moor and the Hole of Horcum offer some of the finest scenery in the National Park and the Esk Valley Walk covers 37 miles of one of the most beautiful valleys in England.

We can recommend a variety of routes for all different interests and levels of fitness.

The Coast

The North York Moors National Park’s spectacular heritage coastline runs for 26 miles from Redcar to Filey offering remarkable villages to explore, wide sandy beaches, cliff top footpaths to walk, rugged cliffs with wonderful views and hidden bays to discover.

Visit the charming Saltburn by the Sea, now with a stylish reputation and foodie scene, tread the cobbles of the winding alleys at Staithes before walking the high cliffs to Port Mulgrave, Kayak or sunbathe in picturesque Runswick Bay, walk the beautiful stretch of beach at Sandsend, climb the 199 steps of Whitby Abbey inspiration for Bram Stoker’s Dracula and discover the quaint bolthole of Robin Hood’s Bay.
