Local Attractions

Sports and recreational

Cycling, Dalby Forest, Dalby
Bike hire is available at this venue, a real treat for all the family. As well as the designated cycle routes around the forest, the location also provides many scenic walks as well as a ‘Go Ape’ adventure park. If you have time on your side why not take the opportunity of taking the Moors bus from Kirkbymoorside which gives everybody a better opportunity to appreciate the surrounding countryside?

Swimming
The nearest municipal swimming pool is in Pickering. We prefer the Sports Centre at Ampleforth College.

Walking!
The surrounding area is a mecca for walking and trekking.
