Land of Iron
The Land of Iron Went for a walk in the "Land of Iron" - Rosedale in the North York Moors National Park. To look at it now you wouldn't think that it was once a thriving iron ore community, with the hill sides dotted with mines as well as the giant furnaces used for...
Ryedale Tour de Abbey
Ryedale Tour de Abbey We went on an impromptu tour around Ryedale today visiting its great Abbey's and Priory. Before any great trip, one must first get sustenance, so we first headed to the market town of Helmsley where we had breakfast at Mannions of Helmsley. Can't...
Clyvedon Castle and Clyvedon (aka Castle Howard and Coneysthorpe)
Clyvedon and the land of Bridgerton On Sunday we went for a walk around the Castle Howard Estate. Many of you will probably recognise Castle Howard as Clyvedon Castle, home of the Duke and Duchess of Hastings in the Netflix series “Bridgerton”. First, we...
North Yorkshire Moors Railway Pub Walk
North Yorkshire Moors Railway and Levisham Pub Walk There's nothing better than a walk that involves a stop at a pub. We went out for a 10 mile hike from nearby Saltergate over to Newton Dale to see the trains running on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. After...
Circular walk to Lastingham from Hutton-le-Hole
To Lastingham! We went on a lovely 6 mile circular walk that took in the area around Hutton-le-Hole in the North York Moors National Park. Starting in Hutton-Le Hole we headed to the small and very picturesque village of Lastingham, which dates back to at least the...

A walk to Jerry Noddle
Went for a short (6 kilometres) easy walk along forest roads out to Jerry Noddle (yes it is a place but does sound like a band member from Slade!) from Bickley Gate Car Park (Grid reference - SE 91079 91035)- our nearest car park in Dalby Forest. You can get to...
Chafer Wood and Netherby Dale
Went out for a quick walk this morning up to Chafer Wood and down Netherby Dale. Slightly nettley - so wearing shorts wasn't the best choice 🙂 A fabulous short walk direct from our cottages, that on a day like today feels like you are walking through a rain forest as...
Kirkdale and Chafer Woods Walk
Went for a quick walk from the cottages up through Chafer Wood and then across and down through Kirkdale. Passing the local church and stopping to take photographs of Ebberston Hall - apparently the UK's smallest stately home. But before we made it back to Cliff...
Farndale – the Daffodil Valley
Farndale Dale is know as the Daffodil Valley because of its abundant displays of daffodils at the start of Spring in this area of North Yorkshire. That said with everything else that appears to be growing along the path it could also be called the Wild Garlic Valley...

Things to do in the Great Yorkshire Forest
You may have seen our "back garden" on TV recently in the "Secret Life of the Forest" on Channel 5. To say that the Great Yorkshire Forest is our back garden isn't an over statement. Turn right as you leave our cottages and in just over a mile you are in the back of...
