For a nostalgic journey, the Wensleydale Railway offers scenic trips through the heart of the rolling countryside at its most picturesque. Nature lovers are perfectly placed to visit the thundering Aysgarth Falls, the romantic ruins of Hackfall Woods, Thorp Perrow Arboretum, and the stunning Himalayan Garden and Sculpture Park. The nearby market town of Leyburn provides a lively weekly market for sourcing fresh local produce, while the Wensleydale Creamery in Hawes and the famous breweries in Masham offer essential Yorkshire tasting experiences. Families can enjoy equestrian adventures at Ashgill or a round at Akebar Park. After a day of exploration, you can return to the estate for refined, locally sourced dishes at the Saddle Room Restaurant or a relaxed family evening at the White Goose Pizza Co.
