There are footpaths that take you on wonderful country walks in all directions from our front door.
Or you can explore further afield by driving or cycling quiet country lanes and following the Tour de France route. There is a variety of stunning scenery to be enjoyed in Wensleydale, and a short distance away in Swaledale, Dentdale, Ribblesdale and Malham. We have a secured shed for you to store your bicycles in when not using.
The woods are also home to our free-range chickens, and the garden has vegetable, fruit and herb beds, so you can enjoy our own fresh eggs, vegetables and fruits.
