Thornton Le Dale is 12 miles away, a beautiful village with chocolate box cottages, stream and a good range of tea shops/cafes, gift shops, ice cream parlour, bakery, a model village and two good pubs.

Hemsley with its castle and Yorkshire's food capital Malton are well worth a visit, for a family day try Eden camp, Flamingoland or Castle Howard also the seaside towns of Scarborough and Whitby are easily accessible with everything they offer or perhaps try one of our favourites, Robin Hoods Bay, Boogle Hole, Sands End or Rievaulx Abbey.

Popular since Victorian times, the vibrant seaside town of Scarborough retains many of its original fine buildings, parks and gardens, as well as its historic castle which overlooks the town. North Bay and South Bay provide two superb stretches of beautiful, golden sandy beaches, popular with families and small children. There are a number of child friendly activities and many excellent visitor attractions for grown-ups too, including the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough Spa and Scarborough Open Air Theatre for live music.
