Local Places to visit

We are blessed with so many places to visit so here is just a taster!

Castle Howard, of Brideshead Revisited fame, with its grand rooms, vistas and walks, is only 20 minutes away. It also has enough things to do to make a whole day out attraction for all the family. We have a great choice of National Trust and English Heritage properties including Nunnington Hall, Rievaulx Terrace, Pickering and Helmsley Castles as well as Rievaulx and Byland Abbeys. For garden devotees, there are the Walled Gardens at Helmsley and Scampston Hall, near Malton.

For families, Hutton-le-Hole – about 2 miles from Gillamoor – is a picture postcard moors village with free-ranging sheep mingling with some very nice tea shops and ice creams. It also houses Ryedale Folk Museum which is a fun place to visit and has many activity days. From Pickering you can join the North York Moors railway for a picturesque trip on an old train. While over the moors in less than 35 minutes one can be sitting on the beach, hunting for fossils, rock pooling or just sun bathing!

One of my special places to visit is St. Mary’s Church, Lastingham that has a Norman crypt built above St. Cedd’s grave, and some say set on an important ley line. P.S. The pub opposite is my Dad’s favourite for a walker’s lunch.

Kirkbymoorside

Kirkbymoorside is a lovely market town less than a mile and a half from the farm.  It has a active market on a Wednesday. There are a couple of pubs as well as cafes.
