There are plenty of places to explore with the family further afield too.

Stockeld Park has everything you need for a fun-filled family day out! While we can't promise sunshine, we can guarantee a day packed with excitement and memories to last a lifetime. Whether you're gliding across the ice rink, exploring the magical Enchanted Forest, or venturing into the incredible Playhive.
Discover the perfect spot for family fun or catching up with friends at Newby Hall. Explore the 18th-century house and award-winning gardens on a guided tour. Kids will love the Adventure Garden with swings, climbing frames, and pedalo boats, while the whole family can enjoy the Tarantella water play area.
Just outside of Bedale, this farm offers a fantastic day out for all ages. Get hands-on with the animals by feeding lambs and calves, caring for the sheep, cuddling goats, and even bathing the pig, all while a friendly guide shares their stories. You can also enjoy a pony ride or take part in the farm quiz.
