Stopped here on the way to visit someone at Scarborough hospital. The meal I had, chicken curry was really tasty and the service, relaxed and friendly. Would recommend

⸻ Title: Delicious food, friendly service and beautiful surroundings We had a wonderful visit to Betton Farm Tea Rooms. The food was absolutely delicious — the pork burger was juicy, full of flavour and perfectly cooked, while the ciabatta with tuna and red pepper was fresh, tasty and beautifully balanced. Both dishes were nicely presented and clearly made with care. The staff were friendly and attentive, offering great service and making us feel really welcome. The atmosphere was calm and relaxed, and the setting is just lovely — surrounded by countryside views and the charm of the farm itself. It’s a peaceful spot that feels a world away from the bustle of town. You can really tell that pride is taken in both the food and the service here. We’ll definitely be returning soon — highly recommended! ⸻

I’ve visited multiple times and everything always tastes like it came from a school canteen, care home or hospital. I guess if that’s something you like then by all means try it out. When questioned on the quality of the food I was told “The chefs know what they’re doing!” Of course they do! Who doesn’t know how to use a microwave 🤷‍♂️

Dog friendly (covered outdoor seating area) , with a great selection of foods. Lovely friendly staff with the food arriving quickly. Nice area around the farm to see some animals as well.

We ordered a afternoon tea the lady did say they had no cream scones left but offered us a extra piece of cake Well when it came was shocked The. Little 2 pieces of bread with a little tuna in it was poor The salad was simple nothing special or a little bits added no sauce but worst of all the cakes was aweful dry to the point the drizzle was set on top and hard the cakes was over sweet but so dry they clearly was stood out for days Our granddaughter age 8 bakes better when I went to pay the bill. And showed her the food she didn’t even offer a refund but asked later as we left if I would like another piece clearly why would I want a piece of dried up cake I was polite and left for £14.95 no way was it worth it and very disappointing and disgusting

Very sad at the state of the play area, all toys broken or in a very poor state of neglect, lots of fallen rotting apples, and a pigeon carcase in play area. However little shop and bakery, was lovely. Also restaurant was very appealing, warm, and good food. It said free, but could offer donation, which I had every intention of doing, but put off by poor amenities.

Stopped here for lunch. Sandwiches were delicious and very well priced. It's a small farm but the kids had a good time checking out the pigs.

Lovely little cafe inside an art gallery. I had the quiche with feta and spinach which was lovely. They had sold out of most of the food so it had clearly been busy prior to me coming here at 14:15.

This place is a hidden gem. The food is delightful. So much care is taken with presentation. The scones are the best in Scarborough especially the cheese ones served with cheese and homemade tomatoes relish. The coffee is delicious too. After you've eaten you can then browse the gallery. The staff are helpfull and cheerful too.

Decent cup of coffee and cake. Pleasant surroundings with local artists work to view and purchase. On the down side the food choice is limited now they don't do sandwiches or soup. They do do quiches though but not my choice. Think they are missing a trick as there is no other tea/coffee shop in the village or area.

Beautiful art works, including watercolour, oils, pastels, prints, ceramics, metal work, glassware all for sale. By local artists featuring local places of interest such as Whitby, Sandsend, the North Yorkshire Moors. Really good coffee and home made cakes, quiche & at this time of the year a log burning stove makes for a cozy friendly visit!

My first visit yesterday (with an enthusiastic regular) was a little disappointing as they had no famous quiche or soup!! However my foid was delicious & the Gallery itself is an absolute treasure trove of locally produced art!!!

Not a large menu, but good choice of homemade sandwiches and cakes, quiche and soup. Nice surroundings with the art work to look at (and buy if you have the money ! ).

Very interesting exhibitions of relatively local artists work, paintings and ceramics. Also has a decent cafe where you can ponder whether on not to splash your cash on your favourite exhibit.

Broke my chain on cinder track. Called Trailways when 15mins away. He was due to get ready for a wedding later that day but still told me to come in and fixed my bike, filled my bottles and got me back on the road. Lovely setting for a crisis aswell. Picnic tables and old trains as it’s one of the old stations.

Absolutely fantastic repair at short notice. Mint fella Keith. Really nice guy who was able to help me get my wheel sorted and on my way with the boys again.

Fantastic! Excellent customer service! Such a warm welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. We hired a tandem bike (for the first time!) With a buggy attached for our two young children aged 2&4. The bike was great! No issues whatsoever. The children had a great ride minus some of the bumps along the cinder track. Would definitely recommend.

What a wonderful place. I had an issue today with my battery on my e bike and was rescued by the owner who charged my battery and saved me from a dreadful return journey from Whitby to Scarborough on the Cinder Track. He then gave us plenty of advice and I will definitely buy my next bike from here. If I could give more stars I would. Thanks again.

Great day yesterday, hired a mountain bike and trailer for our 2 year old she loved it . Great friendly staff and the owner let have a test go on a new electric Mtb which might have to be my next purchase. Very impressed with the service we received. 😁

Cycling from Whitby to Scarborough today, my bike had developed a worrying knocking sound. I stopped at Trailways and asked the proprietor, Keith, if he thought anything was about to fail catastrophically. He spent about 30 minutes giving my bike the once-over and looking for the problem, before suggesting one or two likely culprits, and saying that I should probably be OK to get to Scarborough... which I was! He was super knowledgeable and really generous with his time and expertise. He wouldn't take any money for his time, only asking that I make a donation to MacMillan instead. Thank you Keith, you've restored this cyclist faith in humanity!

We have been renting bikes for the past 7 years for our school groups. Every year we take to Whitby groups of more than 24 kids age 12. Keith has always been very helpful giving us the most suitable bike for each child, providing the tools and helmets and even giving them instructions. We have had a wonderful time and are looking forward to many more visits.

Amazing visit to gallery, staff so friendly and welcoming. Spent an absolute fortune tho but 4 amazing limited edition prints now grace my walls.

We have been wanting to visit the gallery for years and what a warm welcome we received! The many stunningly detailed paintings and prints show just how intimately Robert has observed the character and behaviour of the wildlife he paints. The hardest part of visiting is having to choose which paintings, prints and other beautiful items to leave behind. We were so very grateful for the time shared so I could ask about constructing ponds, wildlife planting and chat about wildlife in general and the familiar characters Robert shares through his videos and livestreams which we watched while visiting the gallery. Such a beautiful place! The prints we bought are incredibly special and will be appreciated every single day.

I’ve been trying for years to get a chance to visit the gallery and was so pleased to get through the rain to visit. Do many fabulous pictures, cards, gifts etc. I started the Christmas shopping! I loved the chance to watch the life streams and I was so excited as I was leaving to see the owl boxes and the feeding branch!! They are alongside the lane and I hadn’t spotted them on my way in. Bit like seeing a superstar! Nice coffee too.

I ordered a signed & framed print of the blue tit couple and it is remarkably stunning in detail & color. Robert Fuller is so multi-talented.

A beautiful gallery showcasing the work of artist Robert Fuller. Plenty of parking. There is no café but freshly brewed coffee is available and there are toilets. Lots of beautiful gifts to purchase for yourself or for a loved one.

I ordered the beautiful weasel wall painting by Robert E Fuller. it arrived in perfect condition. The framed picture is beautifully crafted, very good quality and I`m very happy with it. And... Thers a special story behind it for me, but that would be too much to explain here. Thank you and your team so much!

We visited the studio in August as part of our golden wedding anniversary trip! It is a wonderful studio with lots of interesting photos and paintings from Robert Fuller. We already had a print from Robert, the Red Squirel and for our wedding anniversary present to ourselves we purchased another print in the same frame, this time 4 barn swallows! It looks fantastic out lounge

Lovely place to visit. Halloween is a spectacular time to visit. So many people dress up, it's amazing. At night when the Abbey lights up, ghost talks, roast chestnut stands, fire pits and marshmallows. I would suggest any one to go, even with the kids, they will love it - ours did! And Whitby is a beautiful place to see. Lots of places around to go and look at.

Very beautiful historic buildings, lots of people, milling around in strange attire, my travelling companion and I, came to the conclusion it was some sort of erotically themed gothic festival, the fish and chips were splendid, straight from the sea. Parking was initially quite difficult, untill we happened upon a young farmer chap, who allowed us to park in his field for five pounds.

Whitby Abbey is a hauntingly beautiful place — dramatic ruins perched high above the sea with incredible views over the town and coastline. The atmosphere is both peaceful and powerful, especially at sunset. The visitor centre tells the story of the abbey and its connection to Dracula in an engaging way. A perfect mix of history, mystery, and breathtaking scenery — truly unforgettable.

Whitby abbey is a beautiful place to visit, and very interesting even if you are not bothered about Dracula. The abbey is practically nice as it's not restricted and you can explore as you please, seeing some great views of the area and the abbey. The visitor centre has lots of information about various things that have happened around the abbey over the years and there's a fun fact for everyone. The shop is spacious and has some nice objects.

I had the opportunity to visit Whitby during Goth Weekend, and I've always wanted to see the Abbey illuminated. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to enter the Abbey on this occasion due to the large crowds and extensive queue during the event. However, I was able to admire it from outside the walls, and it truly looked absolutely stunning when lit up. While it's a shame I couldn't experience it properly from the inside, the views from the Abbey overlooking Whitby town were quite spectacular.

Several websites entice readers to visit Whitby Abbey and “sink your teeth into years of history”. This figurative phrase is no doubt a nod to the dietary behaviour of Dracula, who has a connection to the Abbey. Whitby Abbey is steeped in history. It also has well-known connections to several literary giants, including Bram Stoker, Sir Walter Scott, and Lewis Carroll. Relatively little of the history or literary ties would be apparent when walking around the ruins, other than some info at the visitor centre. However, one of Whitby Abbey's charms is its gothic beauty on the barren hillside by the sea. Walking through the Whitby Abbey ruins during the day reveals the intricate work of the arches and pillars. But several other UK abbeys overshadow Whitby's relatively smaller size and substance, which makes the price a bit steep, unless you have English Heritage membership. Fortunately, we also visited the previous evening -- after hours, taking pics of Whitby Abbey from outside the stone walls. A glorious May sunset provided more striking illumination of the Abbey’s gothic style. That was also an excellent time to view the adjacent cemetery as well as Whitby town from the hill and to walk down the steps. Only an dozen or so people on the steps or near the Abbey at sunset. The visitor centre has a good display of Abbey information, including literary connections and a 1st edition of Dracula book inscribed and autographed by the author Bram Stoker. Visited in mid-May 2025.

1st time visiting the Abbey it's a bit of a trek upto the abbey itself as you've got to walk up 199 steps the steps are very small so I'd probably say 2 of those are the equivalent to 1 of the steps you have in your house you walk through a graveyard where near enough every headstone that you see is extremely weathered as it's been battered by the elements. It's an amazing place I'd love to have seen it in it's full glory before it got destroyed in the 9th century and then when Henry 8th ordered the dissolution of the monasteries where its valuable parts had been stripped and it was left to decay. It was bombarded by a German battleship in world war 1 where it destroyed much of the west front the abbey was placed under state guardianship in 1919 so it could be repaired stabilization work began a year later in 1920. It's said to be the inspiration behind bram stokers Dracula when he visited Whitby in 1890 more recently it's been used as a filming location for Netflix's Dracula there is a stone coffin in which some people say that it belonged to Dracula himself. It is managed by the English Heritage and if you're a member you can get into the abbey for free.

A really interesting place to walk to and visit. The grave yard is spooky with a few famous graves worthy of note. People associate a couple of graves with Dracula too, look out for grave stoves with skull and crossbones on them. The church also offers great views of the harbour and Whitby though it can be a little windy at times. Keep hold of your hat.

St Mary’s Church in Whitby is such a beautiful and unique place. The church itself is full of history and character, and walking around you can really feel the special atmosphere. The view from here is absolutely breathtaking you can see the sea and the whole town below. Even the cemetery feels peaceful and calm, and I honestly think anyone resting here must be in peace with such a beautiful view of the ocean. A truly special spot that I will always remember.

This church and its cemetery is a must see. Lovely views from at the top too. Free to enter. A lot of history and the souvenirs are very reasonable, get your stairs badge here! Also grab a bottle of water from inside after doing the stairs! (There is a bus that goes to the Abbey if you can’t do the stairs) The staff we met were very friendly and had some great stories to tell. There is nothing Dracula related here!

One of my favourite churches in the area, St Mary's Church in Whitby is a peaceful, poignant place to visit if you're in Whitby. Its links to maritime history are many and parts of it dates back to the 1100s, which boggles my brain! Some of the pews now contain exhibits and fascinating facts about the building. There is some incredible stained glass and an impressive pulpit! The building is also Grade 1 Listed. Worth the hike up the 199 Steps to reach this incredible building, which also commands amazing views.

I think this may be the oddest church I've visited, not that this should put you off. I wouldn't know where to start if I had to describe the interior,so I'm not even going to try. You will just have to visit yourself. If you're lucky the two lovely ladies that were there on the day we visited will be there for you to have a chat with. The churchyard is lovely, and the setting is stunning. Combined with a visit to the abbey, it's worth everyone of the 199 steps from the harbour.

St Mary’s Church is a true gem. Built in the 12th century, it has a cozy yet quirky vibe, thanks to its rather unusual pew arrangement. The pews inside are positioned in a way that you might feel like you’re in a maze—each section has doors that once kept the chill out during long sermons. Back in the day, families would even reserve their own pews. Outside, the graveyard tells tales of Whitby’s seafaring past. Many of the tombstones bear inscriptions of sailors and shipwrecks, reminding visitors of the dangers of life at sea

The churchyard is a beautiful place to watch the sunset on a clear day. Some benches looking out to sea between the church & the Abbey. Free 24/7 access to the churchyard, which is a nice spot on a summer evening when everything else is closed.

Walk to Whitby Harbour is enjoyable and having fresh breathe. There’s a lot boats fishing and tourists boats, birds, cafes, restaurants, pubs and plenty of shops for your entertainment. Even you can have a lively walk to the beach which is minutes walk aways. There’s plenty to do things around.

Whitby Harbour is one of those places that instantly grabs you with its charm. The moment you arrive, you’re met with classic fishing boats, beautiful old piers, and that unmistakable Whitby atmosphere. It’s a perfect mix of history, working harbour life, and stunning coastal scenery. There’s always something happening — boats coming and going, gulls calling overhead, and people strolling along the waterfront with fish and chips in hand. The views from both sides of the harbour are superb, especially looking up towards the Abbey. Sunset here is absolutely magical. The surrounding shops, cafés, and little winding streets add to the experience, and everything is within a short, easy walk. Whether you’re popping through on a road trip or spending a whole day exploring, Whitby Harbour is a standout stop on the Yorkshire coast. Highly recommended for photographers, coastal walkers, and anyone who loves that old-school seaside feeling.

A stunning area to sit and enjoy the sea. Great walks along the beach and plenty of places to stop and relax. We watched the boats for a while before grabbing some food. We arrived before 9am but parking was still tricky if you want to be close by.

Lovely walk along the pier to the lighthouses. There is plenty of seating to relax and enjoy the views. It is easily accessible for wheelchair users and pushchairs.

Went for a family day out while the weather was nice. Few flaws:- toilets cost (everywhere) with a bunch of kids and having a pregnant wife that was not cheap. The ice creams and soft drinks were extremely high. £6 for an iced latte and £6.50 for two scoop ice cream is quite high. In the heat of the summer they definitely know what they are doing to make extra cash. Okay so we enjoyed a boat trip down the river and back for 20 mins and cost £25 for 5 people. Food costs weren’t as bad as some places and there are plenty of options. Watch out for those seagulls as one bomb dived our teenage son to steal a Greggs paper bag with pizza in it. Scared the life out of him but all he made off with was a screech and bit of paper! (He wasn’t letting go!) haha We visit every few years and treat the kids. There are some little kiddies rides at the end of the harbour and some arcades. These were only about £1 per arcade game and £10 for 5 play tokens. It’s busy in August but manageable. The park and ride system is amazing. £6.50 for three kids and two adults which includes bus travel 10mins each way and parking all day. Loads of shuttle buses so hardly any waiting. Parking in Whitby is a nightmare even tho we have a disabled badge. Definitely use the park and ride. Will def visit in a few years again.

A first visit to Whitby and I must admit I was staggered by just how 'trippery' it is. Wall to wall cafes and restaurants offering fish and chips, boat trips-a-plenty, souvenirs, ice-creams, sticks of rock et al. Plus no loos at the station or bus station and 50 pence to use the one across the road On a glorious day, it was just nice to potter about and people watch, there being plenty of visitors on a sunny mid-May day. I shudder to think what it must be like here in mid-Summer when it certainly would not be to my taste.

Nice to walk around, not too busy despite the warm weather. Views looking over to Whitby Abbey, calming listening to the water, and watching boats go out

Whitby is a great place! The views are stunning, both in the town and also at the Abbey/Castle! On a clear day you can see Norway from Whitby Pier/jetty. There are boat tours, usually 30 minutes, a variety to chose from as well. There is also a Whale watching tour, I didn't go on this as I wasn't aware and you needed to book in advance, but this is must! There is a nice cafe with beautiful views close to the Abbey where you can get stunning pictures. There is a railway and local buses running to places. There are also tour buses that take your sights in Whitby.

The beach is indeed a delightful destination, offering the pleasure of soft sand underfoot. The stunning vistas create unforgettable memories. This charming town has much to offer. The pier is a magnificent structure, gracefully extending over the water. The harmonious blend of the pier and the beach makes this location particularly special. It is an ideal spot for relaxation and basking in the sun. It is a wonderful place to spend your time and admire the impressive statue of Captain Cook overlooking the sea. However, it can become quite crowded during the summer months.

I highly recommend visiting a beautiful place called Whitby. The scenery is stunning, especially in summer when everything is lush and vibrant. The beach has soft, fine sand, and the water is crystal clear. However, be prepared—the water is quite cold, even in the summer, so swimming is not an option. Instead, you can enjoy playing in the sand and soaking up the sun. It's a perfect spot for a relaxing day at the beach!

A beautiful spot to visit, especially in summer. The beach is spacious, with lovely views, and it’s definitely worth coming with your dog for a good walk and some fresh sea air.

Stunning view to drive to the Whitby Beach. Nice boat ride, there is a castle to go. On top that beach side. Perfect for a day out on a sunny day.

Lovely clean beach. Great bank holiday fun. Coast guard on the beach keeping everyone safe. Loads of families enjoying the August Bank Holiday busy. 😊😎

Absolutely beautiful beach! Very clean, there's a lifeguarded stretch in summer and if you keep walking down past the pavilion, lifeguard huts and multicoloured beach huts, there is a large blue building with public toilets and a cafe. Be aware that in the shadow of the cliffs there is no mobile phone signal for emergencies, so take that into account when on long walks or exploring coves, and check the times for high tide at Whitby online.

A city centre park with a museum and playground. Nice place to walk through or stop on one of the many benches and in some places you can see the abbey or overlook Whitby town. It's hilly but with paths but entrance with a pram or wheelchair etc is only available from the top road as there are a lot of access points that involve stone steps.

While I don't have green fingers myself, and I don't have a garden, I am always in awe of those who work hard to create stunning public spaces like Pannett Park in Whitby. The gardens are a really peaceful, colourful and well-kept attraction with 12 sculptures, flowers beds, rare trees, fossils and more! The park also overlooks Whitby and has some stunning views. If you love gardens, this is definitely one to visit if ever you are in Whitby.

Beautifully kept park, good paths, some steep. Terrific collection of trees And flower beds. Saw a couple of tree creepers

A really lovely spacious park providing a bit of peace and quiet from the hustle and bustle of Whitby. Beautifully tended and the museum (which is closed on mondays) is free to enter

Lovely quiet place ..plenty of space ..but no dogs allowed which is nice ..

Well managed clean tidy. Lots of wildlife. Lovely play park for kids , nice place for picking

Lovely park, dogs not allowed, squirrels and other wildlife in abundance. On a slope, but there are lovely paths that avoid the steps. One corner has a well equipped play park. A quiet haven with lovely views, just a stones throw away from the busy shops.

Whitby Museum is a hidden gem! The collections are incredibly interesting – from fascinating fossils and maritime history to beautiful local artifacts. Unfortunately, we only had about 2 hours to visit, but I’m sure you could easily spend much longer here exploring everything. The museum is in a lovely location, close to a park and a playground, so it’s perfect for a family day out. Only adults pay for entry, and the ticket is valid for a whole year, which is amazing value. There’s so much to see and learn – I can’t wait to come back!

A very interesting museum, set in the lovely Whitby Park—perfect for a walk before or after your visit. There’s plenty to see, with most of the items generously donated. Tickets are great value and include free return visits for a whole year, which is a real bonus. There’s also a small tea room inside, ideal for a quick break.

This is a wonderful informative visit that’s needs time to be able to review everything the museum has to offer. It has disabled access at the back very friendly staff lots of clean toilets and disabled facilities the museum contents oh my goodness you couldn’t ask get lost in the history that this museum offers. You really do need more than half a day to look round the many sections that are packed with historical events local history events and all of the many items to review ………… it’s very warm and welcoming one price gets everyone in and your admission allows a whopping 12 months come back as many times as you want or can. The grounds outside are spectacular even at the end of September when we visited there were a host of beautiful welcoming colourful blooms to invite you to invest your time walking round or sitting in one of the many seats available to sit and look around at the most spectacular sites that Whitby has to offer.

This is such a lovely place to spend a few hours - we recently visited for the first time and it's kooky and charming and just a treat for anybody who wants to learn more about Whitby and the surrounding area. A huge variety of exhibits to enjoy (including the legendary hand of glory!) and a stunning collection of ship models, fossils, jet, vintage photos and animal displays. And it's all set in beautiful Pannett Park.

This was a real suprise how much I enjoyed this little museum. It was very interesting with lots of artifacts and items to look at. The museums art gallery is free to enter but a charge for the museum. The costs is around £8.00 but if you have Blue light discount it is considerably lower. Your entry fee gives you a years pass to go back which is good value if you live close or regulary return. Visited here on Tuesday and the lady on the desk was very helpful and friendly. There is a little gifts shops to get all your usual souvenirs and the beloved fridge magnet. There is also a cafe and toilets on site. Give yourself a good hour to look around.

Really wonderful museum packed full of history of whitby, Natural history and key time period discoveries. Admission covers you for a whole 12 months from your first visit too which is a lovely touch. 😊

Was great! Canny little museum with a nice little cafe. Mega friendly staff. Lots to see

Lovely place to exercise the dogs. Nice little windswept cove that's perfect for the novice surfers. The dogs love it. Little rock pools to keep the children entertained.

Great beach, easily accessible and the water is crystal clear. Parking is on the expensive side if you use the carpark but other than that great place to visit.

Sandsend Beach is a stunning stretch of coastline that offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and historical charm. The soft golden sands are ideal for relaxing, beachcombing, or enjoying a leisurely stroll along the shoreline. What makes this beach particularly special is the breathtaking view of Whitby and its iconic abbey perched on the cliffs in the distance. The sight of the abbey against the backdrop of the sky and sea is truly picturesque, especially during sunset when the colors come alive.

Beautiful beach. Food, toilet, parking. Everything in the same place. Also, you can spot the seal, starfish and probably dolphins.

Thus is a great beach. Very clean, water clear. Cafe as well, which sells a good range of food. Beach is divided off for dogs. Brilliant. You can walk to Whitby when the tides are right. Many a happy hour spent their last week. Parking good.

Fossils and rocks to be found on this beautiful beach and dog friendly with cafes and gift shops nearby. The added bonus is that access to the beaches are not down steep cliff paths.

Nice beach, Good for fosil hunting!

Eden Camp Modern History Museum moving is housed in the authentic, original huts of a former World War II Prisoner of War camp, we found the atmosphere electric. We thoroughly enjoyed the museum's incredible immersive displays. Each hut is meticulously transformed into a different aspect of wartime life, from the fear-inducing sounds and smells of the Blitz to the stark realities of the POW quarters and the resilience of the Home Front. The life-size tableaux, sound effects, and attention to detail bring the past roaring back to life. We loved the entire complex with so much to see. History enthusiasts will appreciate the depth and breadth of the exhibits, which cover WWI up to modern conflicts, while younger visitors will be captivated by the hands-on elements and the sheer impact of the sensory huts. It’s an incredibly valuable educational experience that is worth far more than any textbook. With excellent accessibility, a friendly atmosphere. The staff are knowledgeable and clearly passionate about preserving this important piece of history.

An outstanding day is there for you at Eden Camp. There's so much to see and so much information. The Camp is set out in an easy to follow route. The staff are fabulous and informative as well as friendly. The cafe is very nice with good food. My 11 year old Granddaughter absolutely loved her visit and we will be returning very soon. A unique insight into how WW11 was fought and won, not too mention our fallen heroes.

We visited the Living history weekend on the 24th of August. What an amazing and well organised day, we loved every minute. The re-enactors, the displays, the talks, the knowledge of the people with the displays, and also anyone dressed up today, made the day superb, it literally felt like we had gone back in time. I thought the control room with the actors was fabulous, the room was brought to life, this was my favourite part of the day, it was unexpected and brilliantly done 👏 The cafe was great and spacious with a good selection of food and drinks for everyone. The gift shop is well stocked with lots of things for visitors of all ages to buy a souvenir. There's an ice cream kiosk too which had vegan magnums for those who can't have dairy. There are plenty of picnic benches if you take your own food. All the staff were organised, friendly and pleasant, they need a big shout out as it was quite warm and they will have been kept busy all day. I highly recommend attending one of these days. The camp by itself is brilliant to visit, but with all the extra things happening today, it was an added bonus. #EdenCamp

For anyone interested in WW2 this is an excellent place to visit. Lots to see and read. Even the 4 and 6 year olds with us enjoyed the experience. Lots of huts to explore. Interesting to people of all ages. Free parking. Gift shop which was expensive. There is a cafe and plenty of spaces to eat your own picnic. Also a kids play area.

Absolutely fantastic day, there is so much to see and do. Some of the huts offer an immersive experience like the one about the blitz. We were lucky enough to see the heritage team fire up their M50 Sherman Tank, its an impressive beast and give a talk about its history. Gift shop has a small selection of products with most things aimed at children. The whole site was clean and tidy. Fantastic day you need at least 4 hours for a good visit.

Wow. What a fabulous place. So much to see and do. This is a real gem of a place. Absolutely fascinating. Spent about 6 hours there and want to go back. Beautifully done and emotional at times. Staff were so friendly and knowledgeable. Grounds were immaculate.. Definitely worth a visit.

An old POW camp that has been turned into the museum I had a fantastic visit. So much told about the WW2 that I got lost in time. Spent here 4 hours. It's a dog friendly place but bare in mind that all the school from all the milky way galaxy stop here so it's not a good idea to visit museum during the school day.

A rare Saturday off meant I was lucky enough to have time to explore Beck Isle Museum, Pickering, a museum I've not visited before. What a lovely place! A stunning location, a very reasonable entry fee and a cheerful greeting set me up for the rest of the visit. With heaps of local and social history, Beck Isle is a true treasure trove of artefacts including a chemist's shop, confectioners, a barbers, lots of toys and military items. I was particularly interested in the costumes/clothing, fans, umbrellas and parasols on show. Of course, I'm now getting the age when I actually owned or used some of the items now 'on show' in the glass cases! Your ticket fee entitles you to return visits within the year, so I'm hoping I can return sometime soon. Great for the kids and fantastic for adults. It's a fabulous place so well done to all concerned.

Great walking history tour with John and his sister Carol. So very knowledgeable and friendly and we learnt a lot of interesting facts about Pickering that you just couldn’t pick up in a history book. Absolute credit to the Museum, all volunteers so please make use of this fascinating source of knowledge. Use them Or lose them!!

If you go to Pickering, be sure and stop in this great local history museum. Wonderful, carefully curated displays and friendly volunteer staff. I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend.

A delightful museum with artifacts from local history beautifully shown with lovely and informative Volunteers 😃

Absolutely brilliant; lovely museum full of fascinating objects lovingly arranged and presented. The staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming. The two-hour guided walking tour of Pickering was great - worth every minute and penny - the volunteers were very informative, chatty and brought history to life. We also attended a music concert in the courtyard of the museum (excellent: local soul band) and a small fair in the gorgeous museum grounds. I haven't been this impressed by a museum for a long time, it was fabulous.

Lovely and interesting museum about the past. Volunteers were very friendly and helpful. Brought back memories from the past. The printing press was amazing, and the Volunteer has so much knowledge about it and how it worked. I recommend you visit Beck lsle Museum you will not be disappointed 👍

This small museum offers SO much. We had quite a shock to find so many things inside. It's a brilliant place. And WELL worth a visit. You will NOT be disappointed

We visited Flamingo Land with online tickets. While the children enjoyed themselves, particularly the Peter Rabbit trail and the area around it, the overall experience was disappointing. The atmosphere felt flat, with no fun or engaging music to create excitement. Service near the rides was slow, and since we had online tickets, we didn’t receive a map at the entrance, which made it difficult to know where to go. Considering the high ticket prices, I expected a much better experience. Aside from the Peter Rabbit area, the day felt underwhelming.

We had the best 13th Birthday week in the cottages at Flamingo Land. Immaculate, comfortable accommodation with clean hot tub, right at the entrance to the park. We did a Meerkat experience which was incredible and a tour of the zoo after hours where we fed Giraffes, hung out with hippos and black rhino and stroked white rhino whilst learning so much from Danny, the animal encyclopedia! The rides were all working and really fun and the arcades were great too, not a single complaint! We took a trip over to Alpamare in Scarborough too for a swim and a ride on the slides (also owned by Flamingo Land) My 18 year old didn't want to come but since he's seen what we got up to, he's asking js to book again... and we definitely will!

Flamingo Land is a nice theme park in Malton. Getting here with public transport seems difficult, but it's really comfortable by car. We visited on a rather quiet day, but operations were slow and many of the big coasters were running on one train so we still had to wait a good while on some attractions. Sik was closed for the first half of the day but luckily it was fixed in time so that we could have a ride. Hero was closed all day. I think my biggest problem with this park is that they are really missing that standout coaster that really makes you want to travel to this park. Right now I only really visited because of the quantity of roller coasters. For the ride lineup we really enjoyed Mumbo Jumbo and Kumali, which were conveniently placed close to each other at the back of the park. Sik was a miss for me unfortunately, since I found the lap bars to be more uncomfortable than an over-the-shoulder restraint on e.g. Colossus in Thorpe Park, especially in the 5 heartline rolls. The park is overall quite clean, but the theming is lacking. It kinda feels like a big plaza where all the attractions are just placed down next to each other. Kumali does have a nice atmosphere though running next to the lake and with the big entrance sign. I can't say that I was disappointed, but I probably won't be visiting the park again unless they open a new headlining coaster in the future.

lovely caravans park really comfortable statics and well kitted out. The theme park is a good day out for all the family but a bit disappointing end of season some rides not open and those that were either opening late or closing early because of lack of light this I don't feel is 3.30 which is when most of queues closed. Zoo is good with a good selection of animals and informative keeper talks and various feeding times to be watched

Saved money on tickets by booking through kids pass, no wait to get in but arrived at 9.45 so before it opened at 10. Lots of walking, was a long wait for rides some 85 plus minutes. Really enjoyed the zoo would go again but very long day for under 18month olds not much there for them older children loved it apart from the waiting.

I do not recommend this park, one big scam, 30% of the carousels were closed, the game areas where you could win plush toys were also closed, only two were open, the train was not running, a lot of animals were not available. I took my child for his birthday to have a great time. I paid for everything that was supposed to be available, and almost half of the parks were closed for children. I do not recommend it, I will not return, scammers, avoid this park.

We went to celebrate a birthday. We were able to book concessions for two carers and two disabled people. This was a great start. We were able to book a wheel chair in advance to avoid disappointment, and we joined their virtual queue system so that we weren't waiting long between rides. The lady that served us deserves a shout out as she was fast, yet patient in dealing with us. Her name was Freya. She set the pace and all the staff kept up with her, customer service from all was great. Smiles around. The rides surprised me as a thrill seeker. There was something for everyone, but the thrill rides were very high quality. The only measured issue, is that they can be a bit short, 2 laps would solve this especially on quiet days. Excellent day, will go again

We visited Flamingo Land with online tickets. While the children enjoyed themselves, particularly the Peter Rabbit trail and the area around it, the overall experience was disappointing. The atmosphere felt flat, with no fun or engaging music to create excitement. Service near the rides was slow, and since we had online tickets, we didn’t receive a map at the entrance, which made it difficult to know where to go. Considering the high ticket prices, I expected a much better experience. Aside from the Peter Rabbit area, the day felt underwhelming.

Beautiful gardens and forest. The walled garden is one of the best around. The audio house tour is highly recommended. One can easily spend a day wandering the grounds and forest trails. Excellent farm and garden shop, and a children's play area that makes adults want to join. Excellent cafe. All in all, a wonderful place to wander alone, or for a day out with the entire family.

My second visit after many years. Such a lovely historic building with volunteer staff to tell you about the family, the paintings, and just a wonderful experience all round. The gardens are huge but very well tended. If I get to Yorkshire again it will definitely get another visit. We had lunch there too. Very good food with help yourself to salad stuff. We had the cheese filled jacket potatoes with salad and homemade coleslaw. Too full for sweet but they looked amazing.

An absolutely beautiful place. I highly recommend buying a ticket to visit the palace and gardens. The interiors and paintings are beautiful. Most rooms have guides who will tell you the history of what you're seeing and the entire place. Lady Howard still lives in one of the wings of the palace. Unfortunately, the castle library is in her private rooms. 😢. The place is enormous! We were only there for three hours, but we could have explored it all day. A perfect place for a family trip. 👍👍

Came here to take part in 10k run, so had a lovely opportunity to run all the way round the gardens, and then have a further potter around in the walled garden afterwards, and nip to the cafe, and a peek into the big House itself. The gardens are magnificent, very natural, Capability Brown style. You could certainly imagine two Austen characters galloping across the grounds, laughing as they did so in the warming sun. At least that’s how it felt in October. Would have liked to look more round the house, but in terms of the gardens, and its peacocks, it’s quite superb, and a worthy afternoon out to enjoy it.

This is the best non- mideval castle in all of Great Britain. While it is 500 years old, it is almost modern in the look and feel. The way it's set up for viewing, you can almost see and hear the family going about their daily routines and lives. The grounds are magnificent and and need to be seen to be fully appreciated. This is a historic site that should be mandatory for everyone visiting England.

If you enjoy a walk round some fabulous gardens, lakes, temples then this is for you. I didn't go in the house as I had a dog with me but the tea rooms, gift shop and farm shop all had something to give you joy. Really worth a visit.

Popped along for a visit whilst in the York area. Stunning. Definitely worth a visit. The grounds are quite large. We visited in Oct so was quite quiet, can imagine in Summer it's very busy.

Worth a visit to see all the heritage glory of this hall. You must watch the 8 minute video because it shows lot of the hard work the went into the reconstruction and restoration of the hall. It was built in 1360 and after reused in centuries it was used as a storage by a plumber and about to demolition when they found its history in 1980 and resorted it in its glory.

Wonderful exhibit, it was like walking through another time. Great that there were toys of yester year which you could read about and actually play. The staff where friendly, welcoming qand approachable and full of knowledge. We were not really sure what we were going to find however, we were very pleased that we did visit Barley Hall

Fantastic visit, amazing restoration and lots of great displays to look at. Well worth the visit

Brilliant! They carefully reconstructed a medieval townhouse just as it used to be, and even used some of the original timber and an originally medieval hearth. The experience is very hands-on, as you're encouraged to pick up and handle items. Plenty of info cards offer insights into medieval life, but if you don't feel like reading, they're also available in audio format. Additionally, there was an interesting focus on animals in medieval life and their symbolism that I really enjoyed!

Me and my partner visited when we came on holiday to York for a few days. It's quite small but definitely worth a visit, we had great fun trying out the little games and looking at all the animals related bits. Would be a great place to take children as plenty of activities for them to try!

My second visit to this remarkable medieval townhouse, hidden away at the end of a narrow passage leading off busy Stonegate. With its authentic timbered ceilings, creaky wooden staircases and rooms filled with replica 15th century furniture, wall hangings, tapestries, and domestic artefacts, it gave me a vivid impression of what life must have been like for the late medieval family who lived here. Adult admission is £9 (the ticket is valid for a year), and you can also buy a guidebook with lots of info about the hall's history, rediscovery and restoration. The rooms are on three floors. You need to be aware of the raised thresholds between some of the rooms. Highlights for me included the Great Hall laid out for a Tudor banquet, the schoolroom in the basement, and the upstairs long gallery. Don't miss the authentic horn window and the tiny hidden garden! I found the exhibition about the role animals played in medieval life really interesting. There were info cards to read, and enthusiastic and knowledgeable guides around to answer any questions. You can sit on the chairs, handle the artefacts, play medieval board games, and make yourself feel right at home! Plenty of interactive fun for children, including dressing up and tracing medieval drawings on lightboxes and then colouring them in. There's a café in the courtyard, downstairs toilets and some lovely themed gifts and toys in the shop. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and would definitely recommend a visit!

Interesting Historical Manor House in the heart of York, with an interesting story as to how it found its way back from obscurity, to it's modern day recovery and restoration. Possibly a touch expensive at £9 per person, but worth a visit if you are interested in the historical elements of York

It is a place that offers a beautiful and scenic experience from the beach. With stunning views of the coastline, various entertainment and restaurants, it is the perfect place for a relaxing walk or a fun day with family and friends. The range of activities at the pier and Cliff Tamway also make it a great place to visit. Overall, a beautiful mix of seaside charm and entertainment.

The allure of a truly beautiful beach is undeniable, a sanctuary where the world's chaos fades into the gentle rhythm of the waves. Imagine soft, powdery sands, warm beneath your feet, stretching out to meet the shimmering, turquoise embrace of the sea. I love it 🧡🧡🧡🧡

Ideal for young families. Good stretch of beach, dog friendly. Wee cafe and restaurants. Usual fish and chips and arcade. Pier loverly and fenicular railway wonderful if working. Only downside getting up and down steps to beach.

A beautiful scenery of the coastline. Here is a solo trip itinerary: Put saltburn pier in your sat nav to get to the car park (pay and display) download ring go as the machines are fussy Walk round the beach. Get wet if you want to. Take it all in 🧘‍♀️ There is the arcade thing which was very exciting for a first timer like me :) barely won anything but still lots of fun playing. There is a cash machine inside so don’t worry if you don’t have cash on you. The food—-I had fish and chips duuuh 🤪 at the seaview restaurant. The views are absolutely worth it but there are other chippy places nearby so you can buy and sit on one of the many benches and enjoy it that way. Please have an ice cream as a dessert it’s just amazing plus you deserve it. Oh there is also Tomahawk steak house nearby with great views so if you fancied something else other than fish and chips Dog friendly Child friendly There is the famous old cliff tramway whi ch was pretty cool if you ask me. £2 for one way. Do it! You know you want to. Other things: -rent a wetsuit -surf school 🏄‍♂️ -Fishing -watch the sunset -people watching -take selfies -chat to random strangers Etc

A gorgeous old pier, and magnificent views from the end. A nice walk down and ample seats to rest and take in the sea air.

The pier looks pretty cool and goes quite a way out into the sea. Although once you get to the end, it's just full of fishermen taking up all the room with their gear and rods. Surely give them a start time of 6pm to allow tourists and people fancying a quiet walk or some photo taking, clear room to do that. That always spoils it for me. Also the arcade that you walk through or around to get to the pier is another ticket induced nightmare. There's a machine that charges you £1 for Pokémon cards, then gives you one card, imagine a childs disappointment when that happens. There's also never any money tubs, here's some money bags to hold your change in, just isn't the same.

It's a fairly ordinary pier, but we all love a pier, right?

What a wonderful experience! I’ve wanted to visit for many years, having been told stories about my family visiting 50+ years ago. It was a real bucket list item for me, and I’m so glad I’ve ridden on the tramway! Brilliant, friendly staff - very reasonable price for such a unique experience too - I’d highly recommend visiting and taking a ride in this piece of living history. My only ‘negative’ if you could call it that, was the lovely merchandise in the bottom entrance; after payment, there was a tram car waiting, so didn’t have time to purchase or properly look at the souvenirs, but I’ll make sure to ask for extra time for a browse next time (they had some gorgeous art prints). A brilliant experience through and through, I can’t wait to visit again. I felt like a big kid!

We stopped in just to ride the tram as it looked like something that we would enjoy. Parking was easy as there is a lot that runs along the coast in the town. The tram is near the southern section of the lot. Parking is free. Access is easy with a walkway from the parking lot to the entrance. Cost was £2 each way per person, and one can pay with a card. There is a long walkable pier at the bottom with benches to sit and just enjoy the magnificent views. The water was filled with surfers donned in wet suits when we visited on the 3rd Friday in September. The staff was super friendly, and we learned that they are volunteers. The engineer was eager to explain just how the tram functioned in order to go up and down the tracks. There is an arcade at the bottom but we enjoyed just walking out on the pier and admiring the stunning views of the coast. Be sure to check the hours of operation as they close rather early and you would need to visit during the day.

Saltburn cliff tramway is wonderful. Opened June 1884. 120 feet tall, 207feet of track. Carry’s 12 per car. What a gem of a place any town can have. Staff super friendly

Saltburn Cliff Tramway We like it and its always a fun way to travel especially with all your beach gear and children, however it is only a very short journey, 120ft in 55 seconds. So £6 for a family ticket down then £6 for a family ticket up, that's £12, way more than it costs to park the car for the day. For that reason I'd recommend £1 for adults/children, family tickets for £4, with pets free, but that's just me. However, it is a nice experience and a lovely memory, with vast views and it also does look pretty great watching the trams going up and down. The gents are always happy and polite and eager to chat about the history of the tram or just chat in general, so you don't mind paying a little extra. For future visits, I would have a happy hour, 50p travel between the hours of 1-2pm, off peak charges and also introduce ticket stubs for the children to hold and keep as momentos. Also my missus wouldn't let me ask if we identified as dogs would we only have to pay 80p 😂

A must for any visit to Saltburn! You can walk up and down the steps to get from the beach/pier to town but the funicular is much more fun! Saltburn town has some lovely indie shops and cafes in some stunning Victorian shop buildings.

Interesting technology, amazing it's still going! Worth a trip at least upwards, great views of the sea, and atmospheric old carriages. Fair value at £2 each way, and friendly staff. However the queue at the bottom can be long in the sun, they really should provide a bit of cover and a seat or two for older people.

The Saltburn Cliff Tramway is a water-balanced funicular railway in the seaside town of Saltburn‑by‑the‑Sea, in North Yorkshire / Tees Valley.  It was opened in 1884 (28 June 1884) to replace a vertical hoist, and is the oldest water-balanced funicular still operating in the UK. Had a great experience ❤️

Saturday 14th June Great views of the surrounding countryside and Rievaulx Abbey. Good walks available and interesting structures. Helpful and friendly staff in the shop. Toilets available onsite, no cafe, the closest is at Rievaulx Abbey (English Heritage).

A stroll through a wood with various things in it, some designed for children to enjoy. Two temples ... the Tuscan is opened at some point in the afternoon. A long terrace with fine views of the Abbey. Not worth a visit on its own...it amounts to just a stroll with views, though on sunny day it would make for a lovely picnic with kids, after the play in the woods...if you are NT members. At £7 a person it's not worth the expense. If you are visiting the AbbeY, again as a EH member, a visit here is worth making.

It was pretty enough but felt as though the National Trust have bought a field in which people can take photographs of the English Heritage owned Abbey next door. I took the description of landscaped grounds too literally and presumed a garden would be involved. It is a lovely view though!

Beautiful location, just wish there were more plaques describing the history. But I will be visiting again 😊

The staff super friendly and helpful, but unfortunately the place, in my opinion, is not worth going (and even less, paying for it). The view is nice but not spectacular, and it's mostly covered by trees.

Great views of the Abbey and local area. Quick walk, but easy connections to the surrounding towns

Very modest NT grounds/property/walk but with a very interesting history. Helpful staff and great views. Don’t miss it.

We finally visited the Abbey in August after months of anticipation, and it did not disappoint. The Abbey itself is absolutely stunning. We parked in the village car park, which is just next to the site, although there is also a car park on the property. The location is well-maintained, with a shop and cafe at the entrance, as well as a small museum on-site. We spent a couple of hours exploring, even bringing a picnic to enjoy there. Helpful information boards are scattered throughout to guide you during the visit. It's a beautiful spot, and we’ll definitely be back

An ethereal, spiritual experience. The wonderful quiet, with sound lead by the wind passing through the ruins. One could swear that they were hearing the thousands of voices of those who have lived there for the past 1000 years. A most wonderful place.

This is definitely one of those sort of places that is so much more than the sum of it's parts. Blue sky, a splash of sunshine, vibrant green grass and towering walls of stone providing whispered suggestions of what might have been if the buildings had been left untouched. All combine together to provide that kind of magical experience that can never be quite adequately defined in mere words. I loved this place, and I feel it stands on a par with other similar attractions (Fountains Abbey etc) that will also be competing for your time. Come here and lose yourself in the wonder of it all.

Superb Cistercian abbey. Great tea rooms. Good gift shop. All of it is dog friendly. Good museum. Probably takes at least an hour to two hours, but could take a lot longer if you like reading everything. Lots of parking - on busy days they open up a field a little short of the abbey itself to use as an overflow car park.

The Abbey ruins are substantial & are accompanied by a small museum but imho if you aren’t an EH member the admission prices are prohibitive. Thankfully we had a free entry barcode. The other major negative with Rievaulx is the car park is too small to cope with demand, people were boxing other drivers in & generally parking inappropriately both in the car park and outside it on the small country lanes.

After searching for abbey ruins in Yorkshire, I happened to come across Rievaulx Abbey. Seeing as I'd never been here before, I thought it would be an experience, to come and pay a visit. I'm glad I did, these ruins are beautiful and a fascinating insight, into the past. Of course, if you're an English Heritage member, parking and entry will be free. But I didn't mind paying the £15 for entry and the £6.00 for parking (mind you, that was all day!) There was the option, of getting 2-3 hours. However, I wanted to take my time and not have to clock-watch so the parking didn't run out. There was a brief wait to pay, but the pleasant gentleman at the counter made purchasing an entry ticket a breeze. Through the automatic double doors, you walk along the path and then, as you clear the trees, begin to bear witness to this magnificent structure once teeming with life and monks, dedicated to their faith and monastic lives. These are ruins which, in my opinion, are still in fantastic condition and so allow you to really picture, what it would have looked like all those years ago. To stand in the main part of the church, is quite an experience indeed. You get a real sense, of just how huge this place really was! I loved that there were boards along the route, which were great with the complimentary audio guide, which helped to tell the story of this once busy and thriving abbey. You don't have to have the audio guide, but if you are interested to learn more than what the information boards tell you, I'd highly recommend! There are benches and tables as you exit the gift shop, on the grassy area to your left, along with benches dotted around the ruins too, particularly around the cloister garden, which makes for a very peaceful place, to stop and admire what once was. When you return to the main building, as I mentioned earlier, there is a gift shop to pick up a fridge magnet or a postcard (along with some other, cool things too!) There's also a cafe too, if you're wanting to sit and enjoy a hot/cold drink with a slice of cake (I believe there are other things on the menu too). However I cannot comment on this, as I decided to head into the nearby market town of Helmsley. If you're someone who loves history and enjoys taking in ancient ruins, then this is definitely somewhere you won't want to miss. Just a word of caution, that the road to and from the car park can be quite narrow in parts, along with walkers that use it too! So please do be careful, when going down there.

Frienrly service, well maintained area and very informative audio guide. The Abbey ruins are absolutely fascinating. It's been a bit bothersome that some hobby singers used the ruins as a backdrop for a video of their horrible caterwauling when we visited, but that didn't diminish the overall experience.

Lovely little hour spent here as a family. Nice variety of birds and owls, as well as some other little animals like the meerkats, Guinea pigs, and rabbits. Loved the free roaming peacocks. Nice and clear information on all cages. Will definitely return with my child again. Nice and clean and staff were lovely and informative.

Really unique location and activity for the area. I really enjoyed the information signs outside each birds area and lots to see!

A great well laid out centre with loads of different types of birds. Nice path all the way round and good size averies. The flying display was really good, informative and interactive. I would recommend going if you're in the area and catch the display as well.

Great little place for kids to enjoy some different types of birds.

Good day out and picnic location, Owl centre was interesting and very reasonably priced.

It's a small outdoor walk around. Lots of lovely birds to look at as well as other animals. Definitely worth a visit. Just watch the opening times. Google says it's open when it isn't.

Wow had an amazing day. Loved all the birds in here. Learnt few things about these birds I never knew. We thoroughly enjoyed it little shop you enter to go in is really cute. Has some lovely gifts in there kids love it. I love the owls and peacocks. They put a good show on. You have to go visit this owl centre. You won't be disappointed. Can't wait to go again very soon. Just make sure you nip to the toilet before hand. It's a long walk over to public toilet out of the centre. You wouldn't want to miss these beautiful birds.

Easy parking and great views with a steep and slightly less steep walk to the top . Would definitely recommend appropriate footwear, it can be tricky in places. The minimum 2 hour parking is only just long enough to get to the top and back if you don't stop for a breather.

A great beginner trail for families to enjoy. Lovely local 360 views at the trig point. The trail offers a man made stepping route all the way to the top (last section rock climb ‘easy’). Local facilities 🚾 🅿️ are well maintained.

Did the short, steep hike up from the A173 car park up to the Roseberry Topping summit. The car park has toilets, one negative is there are no parking concessions for disabled people with blue badges, not sure why as they are hardly likely to be climbing this hill! As for the hill itself, it is obviously a prominent feature of the local area & the views from the top are very good on a clear day. There are a multitude of routes you can take, we took the most popular one.

Beautiful place to visit, near Middlesbrough. Elevation of 320 meters but feels much more than that, fantastic views from the top.

One of my favourite walks, not too difficult & great fun for everyone! Views from the top are stunning 😍

A small, but steep outcrop on the Moors. The stone steps are hard work but the view is worth the effort.

You do just Roseberry topping from the carpark or do 11 km walk to the Captan cook memorial. I have been couple of times and it has been lovely both times. If you want to do the hard / steep climb follow the steps otherwise follow the path on your right. The car park is handy if you can find a free bay. You can park for all day for £5.50. On both occasions I was not able find a parking bay. I ended up parking in he kings head inn few meters away for £6.00 all day. If you buy drinks or food for over £10 they refund the ticket charges. I I would recommend to have drinks after your climb not before.😁

No problem with car parking but not a weekend or school holidays. We did the yellow walk which was challenging initially up very steep steps/ trail. Then walked all round the top by the glider field. Dog friendly but we did put ours on a lead around the top when there were steep drops and no fences (I don't trust him not to leap off!) Downward section steep and rocky. I imagine it would be slippery if raining but the sun was out for us. Really enjoyed it.

We didn’t get up close, we saw it from the distance. For the enthusiast who wants to get up close, there is a small car park nearby. Fun to have seen it.

Lovely views and a good walk. We started in the small car park near the horse and walked via the visitor centre to Sutton Bank. Lots of effort has been put in place to accommodate people in wheelchairs (if you park at the visitor centre). Food and cakes great at the visitor centre car park and a first rate cup of tea. Unless your dog is very sensible, keep it on a lead as there are some really steep and unfenced drops. Also great for watching the gliders.

We called here on the way home from Thirsk. A bit of a winding road to get there. There are other places you can stop nearby. £2.50 to park but the money goes to the forestry commission. You can use the slope of steps to walk to the top of the white horse.

Was driving past it as we spotted it so had to park up and get a photo of this famous landmark in North Yorkshire

Amazing chalk cut out of the white horse cut into the hills. Lovely walks and the daffodils looked beautiful on the side by the car park

Not a pretty site up close, just a pile of off white chalky rocks, very long steep climb up around the top of the horse and some muddy woods to walk through at the bottom by car park, £2.00 charge for all inc. Blue badges. If you have any disabillity avoid it, view from a distance or hire one of the gliders next door.

Great place for walks and mountain bikes. We took 4 teenage lads who decided to do the 18 mile red circuit which was beautiful, the sun was shining and the views were amazing. Be warned the last couple of miles are the hardest as you make your way back up Sutton Bank to the car park and there were a few occasions when I had to push the bike. There are two other routes with the green easier route and a blue intermediate route. There is a beautiful little cafe half way around where you can grab a drink and catch your breath. The views from Sutton Bank, on a clear day, are stunning. It's definitely recommended.

Great visitors centre with plenty information for the walks and mountain bike trails, cafe, and reasonably priced parking. You'll need at least 2 hours if you're going to venture any further than the immediate viewpoint on foot. To do the top of Kilburn White horse, it's on a 4km loop. There's a m/bike hire centre on site if that's your fancy. The closest viewpoint is just about doable by wheelchair with an experience aid.

Great scenic hot spot for walks and exploring.. both the white horse side where you can watch the gliders. Or walk along the top of the cliff on the same side as the tourist centre, gorgeous views.. loads of parking.. only issue is there isn't many bins around

Stunning views, lovely walks and a fascinating history to learn about. Relatively flat if you walk the main route to the white horse, so suitable for disabled access. You do have to pay for parking but didn't mind because of how beautiful and well kept the nature trails were. Definitely would visit again.

Much improved place to park for loads of available walks or even just a coffee and snack. One downside, parking tariff is 'Up to 2 Hours' or 'Over 2 hours' they could have had a few more options since a lot of walks are over 2 hours. Other than this, brilliant. 👍🏼

Great walks here to suit all. Fairly flat ones or steep one down to Gormire Lake. Disabled can do some of them on electric trampers. Fantastic views. Good picnic site with tables & benches.

Amazing views. Really enjoyable walk. Blaze had fun watching the Gliders taking off and landing.

First time here and would recommend to any age group. Animals are well cared for and there is a good range of activities for children to take part. The have a pig race during the day which was fun to watch as the pigs seemed to be the ones in charge. There's a lovely woodland walk too.

We traveled 3,500 miles & Monks Park was on our itinerary as we saw it on The Yorkshire Vet. A great place to visit with or without children. Up close encounter with Pygmy goats, highland cows & alpacas was a special joy. The paved walk through the property & woodland trail was so peaceful. A very clean environment for the animals & visitors. Highly recommend visiting for kids 4 to 99 years old. Handicap accessible.

We visited for the adults only date night on a Friday. Overall enjoyable experience with a range of activities throughout the night including pig racing, meeting the animals and tractor rides. There was various food and drink vans and a live singer which added to the experience. Only downside was there was no sheltered areas for when it began to rain. Definitely worth the £12 per person entry for a different night out.

Had a great evening pumpkin picking — really enjoyed it! There were lots of different pumpkins to choose from, great food options, and a lovely atmosphere. I also loved visiting all the animals. It was my first time visiting, and I’d definitely return!

Great place for a day out with the kids. Probably up to 10 years old. Our 5 and 8 year old grandchildren loved it. Price is very reasonable for a family ticket. Food in the cafe was good, and not actually that expensive compared to similar places. Lots of activities in a beautiful setting. Only negative would be the lack of places to cool off on a very hot sunny day. We survived though.

Great farm for a family day out. We were camping nearby and decided to come here for the day and there were so many different activities and animals to keep the kids busy and entertained. The multiple play parks are great sizes for kids of all ages, the staff are very friendly and the sand pit especially was a huge hit. This farm is definitely one of the best for “value for money” and we’ll be back when next in the area!

My son loved the expirence, suitable for his age range. Not too much going on that he became overwhelmed, just enough. Visited the farm also and was amazing. Loved the hands on expirences. Definately come again and looming forward to booking christmas experience too.

A beautiful park that seems to have everything. Animals, family friendly activities, cafes, a museum and enough greenery to lose yourself in. It's wonderful for walks and a relaxing time. Free parking, no entry fees, beautiful surroundings, what more could you want?

I park is really good. Good maintenance of animal cages, grass areas. And there is parking facality for vehicles . The park is much huge in area even then there is no public washrooms. Public toilets was missing when i went.

Beautiful place, so much to see and do. Great cafe, great facilities. Plenty of parking too. Childrens play area was absolutely covered in litter (Sunday 8am) and we actually felt really bad for the one man having to pick everything up. This litter picking guy however was so friendly, very informative and had a wealth of information about the park and things for us newbies not to miss as well as all the information about Captain Cook which was really interesting. Can wait to come back and explore more.

Great place for a walk, kids play area, animals to see, dogs (careful lots of squirrels!) to run after a ball was fairground rides when we went April school holidays. Captain cook museum, fab cafes and Gardens. Big free car park but soon gets full

Been going to Stewarts Park since the 60's , disappointing to see that the "Hot House" was removed, a victoriana marvel with exotic flora and forna, don't know what's happened to the museum.... The grounds are superb, trees I recall from the 60's also.... Cooks Café , which is dog friendly have a substantial menu, freshly baked scones (cheese and fruit) lovely tea and coffee. I should go there more often.....

One of the best parks around Middlesbrough town limits. Ample space, free parking and free entrance. For a quick get away from busy schedules, highly recommended. Variety of plants, animals, kids play area, Captain Cook's birth place museum and many more. Open every day from 7.00am till 4.30pm(winter time)

Lovely big park great for off lead dog walks, plenty of squirrels to chase and muddy puddles to cool down in! Good cafe and of course the museum of captain Cook. Good play are for kids and plenty of free parking. Easily pass an hour or so here just walking the dog.
