For days out there are a wealth of attractions within easy reach...Historic houses include Castle Howard and Nunnington Hall. Coastal towns, such as Whitby with its Captain Cook connections (and superb fish and chips) is less than half an hour away and bustling Scarborough (a favourite with kids of all ages) is a few minutes more.
For those seeking a whitewater thrill, the Tees Course is about an hour away. Closer is Flamingoland Zoo and Themepark, boasting some of the biggest rides around.
More tranquil attractions close by include Lavender Farms, Walled Gardens and Museums - Eden Camp, an ex WW2 prison camp, being one of the more unusual.
Familiar places from TV shows are: Thirsk home to vet James Herriott and Goathland the Aidensfield village in ‘Heartbeat’.
