Ordered two sewing patters to be printed in AO. As a new sewer and male the patterns are hard to come by. This way was easy, in theory. The team were very patience and made the extra effort to get me what I needed. They were printed and posted perfectly. Not very often in retail do places give you a wow service but this was up there with the best. Really was very pleased with something so simple as kindness.

Always excellent quality fabric and amazing choice. The staff are lovely as well!

This is my go-to for jersey fabrics and rib knits. A wonderful selection (so hard to choose from), with regular stock updates and excellent customer service. Order turnarounds are always quick and the quality of the fabrics is excellent! Now with an App you can easily order from! I will continue to order from you, thank you!

Little Legs Fabrics are amazing! They stock beautiful fabrics and process and dispatch orders very quickly. They are also prompt to respond to any queries. The only downside is that after liking their Facebook page, I now see all the tempting new fabric and my bank balance is taking a hit!

A beautiful shop in an beautiful location! If you get a moment to pop into this shop, you should, it’s a little slice of fabric heaven! If not then fear not, their online shop is also fantastic. Such a wonderful selection of designs. I have made lots of bits for my son from Little legs fabrics. Gorgeous quality and he loves the designs! Will be shopping again.

I've ordered several times from here and have never had an issue, always arrives promptly, correctly and well packaged. A lovely selection so when I'm looking I know I'll find something, fabrics are well described and catalogued on the website. Just wish I was closer to visit in person ☺️

I am an experienced seamstress who has placed online orders on many occasions through Little Legs Fabrics and I have never been dissapointed. They offer a vast range of fabrics, patterns and notions on a well designed and organised website. My personal favourite are the exclusive designs, simply beautiful! The fabric I have ordered has always been of excellent quality. Delivery has always been prompt and items well packaged. The owner is always more than happy to answer any queries I have and help with colour matching ect. The also have a lovely little facebook group to share makes and ideas with others. I couldn't recommend this company any more highly, my go to fabric shop, every single time.

We took a winter walk in February 2024. The mist made it eerie. It was a great walk and warmed up afterwards with a hot drink. Onsite facilities, family and dog friendly

A beautiful place to visit. Superb for cycling or just taking it easy and enjoying the view. Lovely stream running through, plenty of paddling for the children and great for picnics. Lovely villages to visit and explore along with enjoying an ice cream.

Such a beautiful day so the run as prefect , seeing lambs , and different wildlife

Beautiful place. Well worth a drive through

Like many more than likely, I usually bypass the Forest of Bowland en route to/from the likes of the Lakes & The Dales. This time coming home from The Lakes I got off the M6 at Lancaster driving through the Trough of Bowland to rejoin the M6 at Longridge & what a nice little drive it was & not busy. Think I may be tempted to do it again in the opposite direction whilst heading northbound to get the great views over Morecambe Bay that were behind me on this occasion!

Beautiful countryside to drive through. Lots of great views. Some picturesque villages and quaint pubs along the way.

Beautiful and unspoilt! Best part of Lancashire.

Mixed...please read! Make sure the cafe is open or take a picnic. The alternative provided today ( whilst very tasty) wasn't at all aimed at children and very expensive. You have to pay for everything extra once inside ( don't pay the £1 for the motorized carts...lasts about 60secs...even our 4yr olds were underwhelmed). Plus the 2 tractor rides are also extra money. The animals are lovely to feed and very gentle even with our boisterous 2.5 year old. They all enjoyed the chick stroking! Overall, been visiting for years and it's not improving. Shame as it's such a lovely idea and a great site.

A fun and fantastic day out. There is a good amount of animals to see and feed. The kids play area is big and spacious. There are some beautiful walking trails. We took a 4,7 and 9 year old and they all loved it. The food in the cafe was ok and prices how you would expect from a place like this however the car park is right there so I would be easy to bring a picnic and collect it from the car at unch. There are plenty of benches dotted around.

Great family day out, with lost of different animals to see, they all looked well care for and happy, loved the little goat walk ❤️ Didn’t get her name but she was in the Chick handling room, she really nice to talk too, said she had been there for 4 years and loves working with the animals and you could tell she was great!! In my opinion you could have more handling sessions, not just chicks :) overall I would definitely recommend!!

We came as a family earlier this week and were quite disappointed. The whole place felt very tired and a bit run down. The tractor ride wasn't worth the money. Had much better days out for less money.

When our eldest was younger we use to bring him to the wild boar park and have since returned with our youngest. The outdoor play area is great, lots of different, swings, slides, climbing frames and zip wires for different ages. There's a selection of animals to view such as Meerkats, ducks, hens, goats, Llamas and Emu's and further round the Wild Boars of course! There's an indoor play barn with shaded seating, play kitchen and sand, a climbing rope, slide and basketball set with some play tractors. It's always great of course to purchase a tractor barrel ride, it's a highlight for the young ones and as a family we all go on the tractor ride to view the water buffalo and horses, although you can go on the adventure walk to see these. There are plenty of outdoor seating and you can bring a picnic. They did have a street food vendor onsite and the food smells were delicious but we brought our own food. We did sample the ice-cream from the shop, a bit pricey at £3 for one small scoop but it was delicious, I tried the rum and raisin. It's not a huge site but it's enough for upto 10 year olds to walk round and have fun!

Extremely disappointing compared to previous visits. Visited end of June, building up to the busy school holiday peak times. Cafe closed (which we didnt find out until we got in), barn had no animals and whole place very rundown. Price was reduced to 5pounds each but we still didn't get value for money. The cute piglets was the highlight. Won't be rushing g back

Not what we have come to expect. Usually a nice day out but today just seemed run down and felt generally flat. The food options in the cafe are very limited too so bring a packed lunch.

Location- 5 out of 5. Lovely little village, quiet and calm. Well decorated on the inside with rustic furniture. Tables were a bit sticky but were cleaned when prompted. Food- after ordering at the bar, we were presumably forgotten about as an hour passed and no food arrived. It was not due to the place being busy as there were lots of empty tables. After asking how long for food, our orders appeared a minute later, therefore meaning they’d just been sitting there. It was warm not hot. In general I would say the food was definitely sub standard. The meat was delicious but the rest let it down Cost- 100% overpriced. £18 for a Sunday roast, you think the plate would be stacked. It wasn’t. Not enough food for the money, and especially for the quality we got. The drinks were tiny, glasses for coke/ lemonade smaller than a half pint

A great experience staying, eating & drinking at this lovely pub. I stayed for a night as a lone traveller- the room was so tastefully decorated & furnished. I couldn't believe what good value it was being £69 including a delicious breakfast. I had a lovely evening meal of chimichurri steak. The bar was super busy on the Monday evening I was thete with a while to be served but I can't imagine it's easy to predict demand in somewhere a bit out of the way. I really hope this place thrives- it really deserves too.

The best place to stay! Had a brilliant time at the inn, we stayed for two nights. The inn is amazing, lots of rich history and detail. The food is incredible - very generous portions, great range of options and enough to fuel us for several hours of exploring! The room was also lush, clean, newly decorated and everything you need. The staff are what makes the whole place shine, super friendly and a joy to be around! Thanks so much, we look forward to returning soon!

This has quickly become my absolute favourite pub. Ever! Fabulous interior, wonderfully atmospheric with an open fire and candles on the tables. Staff were lovely, friendly and extremely welcoming. We felt very looked after during our stay - thank you, Nicky. We had dinner at night washed down with a couple of pints and a very tasty red wine. The pie and mash was delicious. Super comfy bed and nice, hot shower. Great breakfast - set us up for a busy day out and about. Thank you. See you when we return in April.

Lovely room & really comfortable bed. Views were amazing. Could do with a good clean everywhere in the whole place, although the bedding etc were top notch. Not a fan of wet smelly dogs(& there were loads of them). Everywhere you went, it absolutely stunk. Could perhaps have one room dog free, especially where food is being served. I love dogs, just not the smell of them!

We arrived at the green dragon hotel and bar which is used for the filming of All creatures, great and small the British drama ,we parked at the rear of the property near the entrance to the waterfall,the bar is old and authentic with open fires,we can recommend the lunch roast beef and cheese melt ciabatta with salad . We checked in at 5pm and were shown our dog friendly room no 4 on the ground floor with lovely views over the Yorkshire countryside .the rooms were clean and comfortable with lovely views across the fields of sheep ,we had booked a table for 8pm and were directed to table 12 towards the back of the restaurant ,you order your food and wine at the bar, the food took over an hour to arrive , we had gammon and the celeriac with chips ,the food was ok but not really worth the wait ,and you had to find our own condiments , nobody came round and asked if everything was okay and we were never offered a sweet menu .The Gentlemans toilet was not clean and both urinals we’re out of order resulting me every man in the toilet having to queue for the cubicle , this looked like it had been the same for sometime as notices were printed out and stuck above each urinal , we came down for breakfast at 9:30 there were a variety of cereals and juices available and you pour your own coffee from the bar, we both had a full English breakfast with poached eggs which was okay but not very filling ,I used the toilet in the morning after breakfast and everything was the same not cleaned from the night before. overall, the rooms were fine and comfortable with good facilities but the pub restaurant needed some work the staff were young and didn’t seem bothered about the customers ,

Stayed for 1 night recently. We stayed in the small double room which had been newly renovated and had everything you need for a short stay. It is quite snug but when you aren’t spending a lot of time in there it was fine. Unfortunately the cleanliness was lacking attention to detail. The toilet hadn’t been cleaned and there were a few cobwebs/hairs etc. Nothing too bad but just felt like it could have had more time spent on it. Especially seeing as check out is at 10.30am and new guests can’t check in until 4pm. The worst thing was the walls are very thin and so you can hear everything from the rooms next door. They’ve put huge flat screen TV’s on the walls meaning if your neighbour is watching something, you are also listening to it. The food was okay. We ate there for tea, it was very busy which is to be expected over half term. Breakfast was also okay. Fairly good choice but quality was quite average. Tables hadn’t been cleaned from the night before. Service overall again was quite average. Nothing was really explained to us when we came down to breakfast which meant most guests were confused whether to order at the bar or not and where everything was. Overall the location and general history of the pub itself are amazing and it’s definitely worth a visit. The waterfall is unreal and wood fires are gorgeous.

Loved the Cheese Experience which was fun and informative. The shop and cheese room is full of delights to buy. However the restaurant really let it down. Overpriced for the quality received, tables available but told full initially and there seemed to be chaos amongst younger staff working out table spaces at front of restaurant yet ignoring those waiting to be seated or to find out if there is space. Restaurant was really completely disappointing.

I just love cheese of any description, and with my own history of working in the dairy industry a visit here was a bit of a no brainer really. The cheese making demonstration followed by tasting was an absolute highlight. Nice to see they had put out some Wensleydale and fruit cake samples to try. The two together just work so well. Regrettably there was no actual cheese production to watch from the viewing gallery during my visit, but I can hardly fault them on account of their production schedule. The cheese shop is also a must visit, more so than the equally well stocked gift shop in my opinion. Well laid out and with samples of each flavour available to try before you buy. I did a lot of trying, and then of course a little buying. Be prepared for the cold in here though, presumably to help keep the cheese fresh.

Wensleydale creamery visitors centre and Calverts Restaurant is in Hawes, in literally the heart/ middle of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. The staff had spot on customer service/ hospitality. In shop, cheese shop and the restaurant. They have a small visiter car park,but the is a large car park 150 yds down the road, which is a pay car park. The Wensleydale creamery experience you need to buy tickets for online. In Calverts restaurant, we were lucky to get a table, many people turned away and had to book. For 2 meal,a side & 2 drinks cost £36. The meal was delicious 😋. I will post pictures. The cheese shop was very busyand wasnice to taste other cheeses. 🧀 😋 Will show also in pictures as well as the gift shop. The gift shop was like going in a candy shop as there was loads of items to buy and gifts. Some items was expensive but others not so bad. Ice-cream cost £3.50 each. I totally recommend. Wheelchair friendly and has blue badge parking.

It certainly looked like fun when reading about it online. But when we visited on Sept 27, the place was absolutely packed. There was no parking in the visitor lot, so we needed to use the Pay & Display lot located down the street. I had hoped for a lovely cheese type tea in the restaurant, but had not realized that booking was necessary. I would have had to wait an hour, and I wasn't willing to do that with so many people crowding around. We opted to go to the "fast food" counter and order cheese scones, each of which came with a walloping amount of butter. I ordered the cappuccino to go with it. I felt a bit like splurging. The scones were OK. I wouldn't say they were outstanding. So, overall, I'd say my experience was disappointing, and I'm one who usually gets excited by simple things!

Took the tour last year, was amazing. This year, was back for more cheese (after free samples in the tasting room!) Both times had a lovely meal in their Calvert's resturant. Totally recommend.

What a great place. Much bigger than I was expecting, they've certainly made the most out of their association with Wallis and Gromit. There's a large gift shop selling a wide range of goods including; Pottery, gin, beer, biscuits, smelly stuff as well as cheese, of course. We paid to watch a demonstration on how they make cheese, around £5.50 for adults. They run demonstrations at certain times throughout the day. We enjoyed it as well as looking at all the old equipment and hearing about how it all started.

Came a bit late in the day, so didn’t have lots of time to visit the different areas. We sampled some cheeses and ended up buying some to take home. Then we stopped at the cafe for a cuppa, and cheese scone! We had a decaf tea and would have liked a Yorkshire decaf! The cheese scone came with a slice of Wensleydale, butter and chutney, which was delicious . There’s plenty of seats outside which was fab, with the afternoon sun on my back!!

A nice place to visit for a look around. The castle is in surprisingly good condition and there is quite a bit to look at. Lovely walk around the castle, taking in Mill Force waterfall. Plan on spending about 1 hour or so here if you take in the walk and waterfall. No information boards (we couldn't find one...)

Bowes Castle is such a peaceful and powerful place to visit. The huge stone walls still stand strong after centuries, and it’s easy to imagine the stories they could tell. The views across the surrounding countryside are lovely, especially when the light hits the old stone. It’s completely free to explore, quiet, and full of history the kind of place that makes you stop and think about how much has changed, yet how much still remains.

Lovely castle in well-kept grounds and a beautiful village. My one gripe is that it would be nice to see a plaque or information board. We had to go onto Wikipedia to find out about it.

Definitely worth a look in and climb the short stairs for a better view

A nice little castle. Although it doesnt take much time to look around it and the nice little church next to it, its very close to Barnard Castle and Eggleston abbey which makes for a lovely day out

The grounds are maintained well. The castle itself is a shell with no roof but the walls are pretty well kept nonetheless. There's also a modern helical staircase you can climb, which you don't see often on castles like this (usually reserved for paid-for castles).

Beautiful castle with some fantastic scenery in a lovely little village. Wasn't a single other person there when we visited on a Sunday and of course it's free.

Great place with fantastic walks and amazing scenery,

The Cove itself is a quite dramatic curving cliff with a little beck flowing out at the base. There is quite a good path to it although you have to walk on the road for a short distance, we came back that way, but took the path to the right side of the beck to get up there. Once there there is a little bridge to cross to the other side or when very near to the cliff the water runs under the stones. If you want to go to the top, there are steps and a path/track going up to it, we didn't as Tina has hip pain. On the tourists path to the left going up, there are often cattle which are very used to people and most of the time don't pay any attention, though they sometimes show an interest in dogs. Parking on the road (if you can find a space) is free although they have a QR code and suggested donation of £5, not sure how many people would pay. The Visitor Centre is like all others in 2025 £3.80 for 2 hours (3 hours for blue badge) and £6.00 over 2 hours, which is fine if you are earning a living, but a lot of money if you are on a pension like us. Anyway we did find a space on the road before the Visitor Centre so all was good for us. Worth a visit definitely, though in season there are lots of tourists as you would expect, including us on this occasion.

Beautiful expanse of water "on top of the World Ma!" On a beautiful summer's day listening to only the birdsong is exquisite. Lovely walks.

Beautiful area to go for a walk and explore. Lots of birds to see.

Fantastic place for a great country side walk. Brilliant scenery. you can park up and walk compleatly around the Tarn

Absolutely beautiful and peaceful place. So quiet that it’s beyond belief. It was built as a reservoir. It is quite big however very shallow. Around the lake the temperature drops by few degrees because of the wind and open space. Make sure you have extra layer of clothing with you, especially out of the summer months. Loads of boulders to sit on around. If you don’t fancy walking from Malham National Park Centre, there’s a car park nearby. Highly recommended place to Visit if you want a bit of silence and peace.

We walked all the way round, an easy pleasent walk. You can escape the crowds, plenty of places to park, lovely countryside.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Malham Cove is stunning! The limestone cliff is incredible to see up close, and the walk to the top is definitely worth it for the amazing views. The limestone pavement at the top is unique and really special. A great place for walking, exploring, or just taking in the scenery. Peaceful, beautiful, and unforgettable – highly recommend a visit! It is a bit of a trek and quite tiring!

Hard to know where to begin with a place like this. From the first glimpses of the cove on the approach to the views from the limestone pavement at the top, every step is a feast for the senses. Before you head straight for the top check out the glade at the base of the cove first. Almost surreal in it's beauty, it is the sort of place you never really want to leave, and in a sense I never will having carried a bit of it away with me in memory. Every step up towards the top provides sweeping vistas of the surrounding countryside to enjoy. Not the easiest of walks, had to take advantage of several opportunities to rest on the way. The reward for your efforts though is worth it. An otherworldly landscape of limestone slabs and the deep fissures between them. Mind your footing as you cross but make sure you fully explore everything (views and all) that the top has to offer. An absolute must see destination in its own right. Put this on your to do list now if it's not already there.

We arrived around 9am and there was some free car parking on the road. The main car park was full. Public toilets are clean with signs regarding routes. We did the circular route which was great for mixed ages but is moderate. Beautiful scenery. Nice cafes at the start and finish for a cuppa and slice of cake.

This is Mother Nature at its best!! Absolutely breathtaking scenery once you’ve reached the top. The limestone pavement is a marvel and the views across the Dales is spectacular!! Our dog loved the walk!! There’s a number of steps, sometimes uneven, so be careful. But it’s worth the climb to get there!!

Parked at the visitor centre, 2+ hours £6 ,pay by card only. Toilets and a little shop in the VC. Tea shop and pub within 2 mins walking. Walked to Janet's Foss in approx. 25 mins, then continued onto Malham Cove. This part is uphill but not overly difficult. Circular walk, we took it easy and completed it in just over 2 hours. Lovely views. Take a camera.

Malham Cave is a stunning natural wonder with breathtaking rock formations and scenic surroundings. The walk up to the cave is refreshing, and the views are worth every step. A peaceful spot perfect for nature lovers, hikers, and photographers. Truly a must-visit when exploring Malham.

A well kept beautiful landmark that's easy to access thanks to the large car park in the village. Perfect for a moderate length walk if you want to ascend the steps, but just as nice to look at from the bottom of the rocks.

Parking can be an issue as it’s a tiny residential spot, so quaint & cute. We tucked ourselves in at a grass verge at the beginning of the path. You will pass a bakery which has an honesty cafe with seats, drinks and a big selection of covered cakes & a few souvenirs. There are also toilets which were clean & stocked. The route is steep & stoney underfoot. Even with a decent level of fitness there is no denying it is a workout on the thighs! Took about 20 min before reaching the Folly on the left. Enter into the stone tunnel and another left will take you into the balcony to admire the waterfall, which was better than I expected. You can continue on through the stone tunnel to a road where you can continue climbing the hill, do the circular route passing some nice bridges and see the balcony from the opposite side, or return the way you came. Best to view after rainfall. Popular dog walking spot. Definitely worth the stop & the bakery was a delightful find. They have won several Best Of awards.

Fairly flat most of the way. Shady in some parts too. Scenic but can be busy and also noisy at the waterfall. Fairly short walk too but worth a look. Parking was £8 in a field near where the trail starts in the village, cards accepted.

Came here on the back of a walk over from Malham Cove, through Goredale Scar, and this works as a perfect extension of that route. Also as a return route to Malham I think this works a lot better than simply retracing your steps backwards. It has the added advantage of being a lot flatter for those who's legs might by now be feeling a little defeated by it all. The waterfall itself is everything you would expect from one of Yorkshires wild places. Lush green vegetation fringes the clear waters as they cascade downwards. A picture perfect scene, though you will likely be competing with numerous other visitors to take the shot. Also saw some wild swimmers here (a popular spot apparently) though I don't think I personally would be easily persuaded into the equivalent of a cold bath in a public place. The walk onwards is enjoyable and filled with sufficient interest to easily compete with the first leg of the walk. The initial stretch is very rocky and could be challenging for the mobility impaired visitor. Also take care if you are tempted into the crossing on a conveniently felled log along the route. The child in me jumped on with barely a thought for my own personal safety. The adult then realized that logs don't seem nearly as wide when you are on them.

My wife and I love the Lake District and are relative newcomers to the Yorkshire Dales. However, from the trip we did earlier this year, we love it and one of the main reasons is the number of beautiful waterfalls Janet’s Foss was one of our favourite finds and has the bonus of a beautiful small pond to dip your feet in. The hardest part of getting there is driving down narrow country roads to get to Malham where the walk begins There’s a decent sized car park with toilets and a gift shop. The walk to Janet’s Foss is about 30 minutes direct along a flat route running beside a bubbling brook. The waterfall itself is beautiful with a small pond at its base You can continue on the route to see the Gordale Scar and Malham Cove - this is definitely more strenuous! If you can turn back to the village

Janet's Foss is a lovely place to visit, although when we arrived it was busy but in a short time became overcrowded and we couldn't fully appreciate it's beauty. The walk up from Malham is a nice walk and fairly easy. I would recommend going on a week day and when the weather isn't at its best as it would hopefully be quieter and a much more enjoyable experience.

From car park its only 25 minutes walk to janets foss from there you can.go to godzale that 15 mins away form janets foss. If you have more time you on way coming back godzale you can take track to malham cove which is 25 minutes walk thats awesome place to visit so don't miss

A really nice waterfall and a stunning point to have as a stopping point when exploring the area. There are normally lots of people swimming here so expect it to be quite busy when the weather is nice.

This is the sort of place where every which way you look is another perfectly framed view just waiting to be captured. Perfect for an absolute amateur photographer like myself who needs all the help he can get. I would imagine it to be stunning at any time of year, but was particularly beautiful with the first of the autumn colour fringing the edges of the river. Another attraction of this is that it does not depend on good weather to be enjoyed. In fact a spell of wet weather before you arrive will leave the falls in full spate and positively enhance the experience. If you are getting down direct to the waters edge tread carefully. The rocks can be slippery when wet, particularly if you are watching the falls and not your feet.

Lovely national park with some stunning waterfalls and walks. Best get there early though as the car park by the visitor centre gets very busy throughout the day during half terms or school hols. Nice little cafe in the visitors centre.

Wonderful place to visit and explore. We did the short walks to see the 3 falls (all beautiful and a real sense of the power of nature), and also a route from the bottom of the main carpark which took us over fields to a charming village. We’ll definitely be back to walk the circular route to Bolton Castle. Highly recommend planning your trip to be there over lunch, the tearoom on the bridge was excellent!

I absolutely love Aysgarth falls! I use to go every year during summer when on camping trips. I have recently gone again after a few years and took my partner who had never been. It was as beautiful as I remember. We went car camping in a near by car park and we when to the falls first thing in the opening. It’s great for dogs too! Plus, my partner was loving the fact that Robin Hood was films there!

Amazing little haven, Yorkshire really is a beautiful county. It has 3 falls, top middle bottom. The middle falls is basically just a viewing platform, but the top and bottom can be accessed for close up and engaging views. Lovely place. Worth a visit. Parking is cheaper at the main car park. The cafe before the hill down to the falls is more expensive. Paid £7 for 4 hrs. N ya can get same for up to full day in main car park at bottom between the falls.

Amazing views. Falls Hotel is a great place to stay and eat. Wallace n Gromett lovers, defo go to Wensleydale Creamery, the visitor centre is Amazing too. The cheese is mmmmm-a-lisious. Not that far away, the picturesque scenery will blow you away.

Beautiful walk and views of the falls. Lovely place to have a picnic. Lots of picnic benches. Best flapjack ever in the cafe and yummy ice cream. Parking £6 for over two hours

Boundary Outlet offers a great shopping experience with a wide selection of quality brands at discounted prices. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the store is well-organized, making it easy to find great deals.

Very good and very impressed. Modern and open plan outlet with loads of parking and excellent range of clothes and accessories for the home. Couldn't give 5 stars because it mainly caters for the older customers and they surprisingly lack EV charge points as well.

Amazing staff and customer service. Everyone is polite and very helpful. If you can not find what you are looking for or forget to pick something up, staff members are always willing to help you out. A large variety of brands and items for sale ranging in prices and depending on what time of the year, great bargins to be found. Definitely worth a trip out, several places both inside and surrounding the outlet to eat as well.

Maximum choices under single roof. Good facility for the nearby people. We went from Oldham to look for our choices. Purchased clothings, shoes and crockery. Rates were comparatively on the higher side. A friendly atmosphere and a wide choices to buy all brands. Well done Boundary Outlet Colne. A wonderful experience.

hadn't been for years before this but there was so much variety including a beauty outlet, m&s outlet, cosmetics store, perfume shop outlet, café and many offers available. There was also an ice cream truck outside with benches and the prices were very reasonable. There is also a Banny's Fish & Chips shop down the road with dine in options at the front or a takeaway down the side. Plenty of space for parking at both sites.

I have good experience here. You can fine so many good deals. Its huge and everything under one roof which is great.

Plenty of parking, very clean and well laid out. The homeware/kitchen sections were great. We made some purchases, after looking online afterwards for items we couldn’t find some of the purchases weren’t as discounted as it seemed That said, having the option to view in person was a definite benefit over online shopping. The shoes and clothes sections weren’t as good for us. We’re mid 40’s but found the majority of items were aiming at older styles.

Loved the history behind the castle was bigger than initially thought. You get a map to follow when walking around gives you more information on history of the rooms. Beautiful preserved castle and grounds. Dogs are welcome in castle just not in shop and tea room but there is plenty of seating around. Kids under 5 go free takes about an hour or 2 to walk round castle slowly not include grounds.

Really enjoyable look around this brilliant piece of history, you are left to walk around at your leisure which is good lots of signs explaining everything. Dog friendly which is great. It has a good car park which is a bit of a walk from the entrance but not a problem and it's something like £4.50 for the day so ideal for looking around Skipton town centre after the castle. The castle is literally 1 minute walk away.

Visiting Skipton Castle today felt like stepping gracefully into a living chapter of England’s storied past. Rising proudly above its surroundings, the castle possesses a quiet, enduring grandeur that immediately captures the heart. Its weathered stone walls, ancient archways, and immaculately kept grounds create an atmosphere where history does not merely linger — it breathes. Wandering through its corridors, one cannot help but admire the exquisite preservation of this medieval fortress. Every room, every vault, and every spiral stair whispers tales of resilience and nobility. Sunlight filtering through narrow windows casts soft patterns across the stone floors, lending a poetic stillness to the place. The courtyard, with its venerable yew tree standing sentinel for centuries, feels nothing short of enchanting. The staff deserve the highest praise. Their warmth, courtesy, and genuine passion for the castle enriched the experience immeasurably. They carried a quiet pride in sharing their knowledge, answering questions with patience and charm. Their presence added a welcoming human touch to the grandeur of the site. Access to the castle was wonderfully straightforward, with clear signage and well-kept paths that made the visit smooth and stress-free. Whether travelling alone, with family, or simply seeking a peaceful retreat into history, one can reach and explore the castle with absolute ease. Skipton Castle is not merely a tourist attraction — it is a beautiful encounter with heritage, artistry, and the enduring strength of time. I left with a sense of awe and gratitude, carrying with me the gentle magic of a place that truly honours its past. A must-visit, and a memory I shall hold dear.

I love castles and Skipton castle is well preserved. Half of the castle is a private home ...the rest of the castle is open to the paying public and is small. The rooms are disappointingly empty...I think they could get furniture, weapons, suits of armour, period dress etc to make them look period and a bit more interesting...visitors can move around at their leisure. There is a gift shop toilets and tea room. There is also a car park close by which is part of the castle grounds.

Absolutely loved it. Love castles and this is a good one. Not very big and apart from the few places you weren't allowed, then it's got a lot of history.

Amazing castle so much is original and in good condition. No fancy Disney stuff all original history . Some great views too. Highly recommended

Friendly staff at the gate immediately made me feel welcome here. It is amazing how a first impression like that can carry through a visit, but after I just felt like it was okay to be there. The castle itself is a substantially intact stone keep etc with roofs still in place to keep the weather out. In fact I would absolutely recommend this as a good wet weather option. I should know as it was raining throughout my visit. There was a strange kind of duality to the place which is difficult to describe. Fully intact structure yet completely bare within, it seemed caught between living structure and standing ruin. Never quite knowing what it wants to be and landing awkwardly somewhere in between.

This is a really fantastic place. Our visit was thoroughly enjoyed by both adults, our 9 year old and our 15 year old. The app is brilliant for solving the quest and although it was busy, the site was not crowded. No queues anywhere. A burst pipe meant that the water was off for a lot of our visit but the staff managed this brilliantly and it did not spoil our experience at all. The gift shop has a wide variety of items and is one of the best I've seen. Would definitely recommend to families of all ages.

Brilliant day out, well worth the money. Full of wonder and mystery, even for grown-ups - and the attention to detail is amazing. The staff are really friendly as well as incredibly helpful. Food is amazing at the cafe attached to the gift shop, with a very good gluten free range as well. And although some of the site is understandably not wheelchair-accessible, it is generally very good for people with limited mobility (however the car park could use a few more disabled bays - despite having a blue badge we had to park in the overflow car park which was quite a walk from the entrance). Overall, though, I rate the Forbidden Corner very highly and would recommend to all ages and tastes. We'll definitely be returning!

Brilliant place to visit. Full of surprises, quirky, funny, spooky, we had a great time. We’ve been visiting since it was a little bit smaller, but now a major tourist attraction. Well worth a visit. Try to go when it’s a little quieter, possibly during the week. It was really busy when we went on a Sunday, but all well mannered. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Beautiful location too in the heart of the Yorkshire dales.

What a fantastic day out for the family! We took our 9 year old son here on the first Sunday of October half-term. We all loved it. There were also much younger and much older children there who were having a great time too. We're looking forward to returning next year.

Great day out for kids and adults alike. A grounds to explore full of whimsical wonder. Not fully suitable for this unsteady of your feet of wheelchairs due to lots of narrow staircases and uneven grounds,although plenty to do on level.floor and beautiful views to enjoy. Great food choices, including gluten free and dairy free options. At a reasonable price too. Myself, my 23 y/o daughter and her partner had a great day out today. Highly recommend

We've been several times before, with friends and for a birthday party. Highly recommended for children over 5 years old as some nooks and dark paths that maybe scary for very little ones. Lots of outdoor paths and the playground is suitable for younger ones. Small Cafe wasn't open this last time that was on the main grounds so had to go back to the main one next to gift shop which was a bit of a trek with 4 hot drinks.

I don't want to spoil this place, so just go,take the kids, and experience it for yourself. There are some slightly creepy moments that some sensitive kids (and maybe even adults!) Won't like, but we managed fine with a 6 year old. Great place, very different to other attractions, really unique and original.

This must be the best ruined castle I’ve ever visited. Kids will love all the little pitch black nooks/rooms and all the rooms they can expose. Adults will really enjoy the fantastic views. All the more so from the heights. I’ve added a lot of phots as it’s hard to give this site the justice it deserves. Book on line in advance to save person. Be aware it’s for the able bodied, wheelchairs can access the courtyard but there are steps all around including 4 flights of stairs to reach the walkways above the Great Hall. There’s also turret stairs to the high point..

Wonderful castle ruins to explore. A fascinating history and substantial areas of the main tower that can be viewed, including ascending through several levels via the spiral staircase to get a better idea of how it may have been in its heyday.

Beautiful place, so much history and all explained in a comprehensive guide book (£4.50) friendly staff, plenty for kids to do. Only had an hour and a half as we were on our way home... Will definitely be going back for a longer visit.

One of the best castles I have been to in a long time. Compared to others that were looted for stone, etc, it still has quite a bit remaining that other castles long for. The pendant was also exciting to see, it is so beautiful. Was also lovely chatting to Gill on her last day before retirement, thank you.

Great castle loads of it has survived plenty to explore and has glorious views from the top of the tower. Staff were friendly and really knowledgeable. Dog friendly.

This is the biggest castle I’ve been too also it’s the best ruined castle I’ve visited, staff was very informative lovely views from the top also dog friendly

Very nice place to visit, well maintained ruins. But it definitely does NOT warrant the £10 per adult entry fee. Walk up/down/around was less than 40 min (25p/min), so rather expensive

Easby Abbey is such a great place to explore. There is only a small car park, so we usually walk from Richmond which is a lovely short stroll and it means we can leave the spaces for those who really need to park close by. The walk in is peaceful and adds to the experience, especially with the views along the way. The abbey itself is fascinating and much larger than you expect when you first see it. The ruins are really impressive, full of history and character, and there is plenty of space to wander around and take it all in. It is one of those places that feels calm and interesting at the same time, perfect for a gentle explore on a nice day. We would definitely recommend a visit here if you enjoy history and peaceful spots with a bit of magic about them.

Easby Abbey is one of the best-preserved monasteries in Britain of the Premonstratensian order. It was founded in about 1152 by Roald, constable of Richmond, and later enjoyed the patronage of the Scrope family. After its suppression in 1536 the buildings rapidly lapsed into ruin, before becoming an object of interest for antiquarians and Romantic artists in the 18th and 19th centuries. The grandeur of the surviving buildings testifies to the success and wealth of the abbey. Well worth a visit easy grounds to get around car park across the road get about 10 cars in it and a honesty box £2.00 alday take a pack lunch and admire the views.

We came across Easby Abbey by accident during a walk that started on the dis-used railway path from the old Richmond Railway station. After crossing the bridge over the river the path heads to the left and back towards the station, and that’s when we found Easby Abbey. It’s a large site with extensive remains you can walk around and explore. A quiet and calming place.

On our way south we stopped by the Easby Abbey. And it was a surprisingly great place to visit. A lot bigger than it looked online. Parking is very limited on the carpark - park elsewhere or wait to get lucky. We waited...and got lucky after around 15-20mins. Easby is one of the best preserved monasteries of the Premonstratensian 'white canons'. Founded in 1152, Easby Abbey was suppressed in 1536 and within two years most of its buildings had been stripped and demolished. And the remains still stand here today. And there are lot of them to explore. The whole grounds are free to roam around with only few restrictions. And it's quite a large area. Dogs are welcome as well. We enjoyed our visit very much - and lots of signs giving interesting insights in the history of the Abbey. There was a good number of visitors, but didn't feel crowded, because of the grounds size. Many times we tried to imagine how big and impressive it must have been when it was still standing in all its glory. Because the ruins are already impressive. It must have been an amazing sight back then. A really enjoyable visit. And it's even free to enter. Surprisingly. For the carpark there's an honesty box, a donation is appreciated.

Richmond Castle was closed due to wind, but this place is absolutely magnificent. It rivals Whitby Abbey and it a ruins are more intact. Must visit.

Absolutely amazing. What a step back in time. Such an interesting site. A large site, it must have been very busy in its day, very peaceful and very picturesque - most definitely worth a visit! Parking can be a bit of a challenge on a busy day but we manage to park on site see picture of for car park. There is an honesty box for car park £2 for all day and £1 for parking which is used to maintain the car park . It is an English Heritage, but it doesn't cost anything to get in. There is no shelter, no toilets or restaurants so good on a nice day! It is a four mile circular walk from Richmond so if you can leave your car there and walk you won’t regret it.

A large site, it must have been very busy in it's day, very peaceful and very picturesque - most definitely worth a visit! Parking can be a bit of a challenge. English Heritage, but it doesn't cost anything to get in. No shelter so good on a nice day!

Visited on a Sunday. Easy to find, well signposted, plenty of parking. The routes were easy to follow and there are wider routes available if you eish to go off piste a bit. Dogs allowed on a lead. The rocks themselves fascinating to look at and you can climb most if you wish. It was a bit busy for my liking but worth a visit.

Great place to visit with kids to get them away from a computer/phone screen to enjoy nature, to play hide and seek amongst the rocks. I remember my parents taking me and my siblings to play and how much fun we had back in the day. Our most recent visit saw families doing exactly what we did, spending quality time together.

Brilliant place for an active day out. It goes without saying that it can be rather precarious when climbing so be sure to dress appropriately. Dog friendly, plenty of space for a picnic, a few on site food trucks and thats all you'll need. They do charge to use the onsite car park, but it was only a few Pounds for the whole day. You're also close to Ripon, which is a nice place to swing by afterwards or you can walk to the Rocks from there if you're able!

What an awesome place. It’s massive with a maze of twisting paths and interesting rock structures, lovely heather and ancient oak trees. It’s a perfect place to bring kids for a runabout and picnic. The car park is national trust so be a member or expect to pay a lot to park. There’s an asphalt path through the rocks that makes it easy for wheelchairs and pushchairs to see the rocks. Enjoy!

A lovely place for a chilled walk especially if you have kids. They can have a lot of fun climbing rocks with varying difficulty. Site is nicely set up with parking and have manned booths for information as well as I've cream stalls.

Well worth a visit. Especially for outdoor adventure. Lots of climbing, walking and fresh air. Little cafe, clean toilets and visitors centre with information. Plenty of parking and a really unusual sight with spectacular views.

Incredible landscape of sandstone rock formations of myriad shapes and sizes, most situated on open ground, with some hidden in lush woodland. Brimham Rocks comprises one of the largest areas of rock formations in the UK, with some spectacular examples of large rocks balanced on narrow bases, towering stacks, and a multitude of amazing shapes. The area also benefits from superb panoramic views over miles of surrounding countryside, overlooking the town of Harrogate and landmarks including Drax Power Station and RAF Menwith Hill. The site is well managed by the National Trust, with plenty of paid parking (free for members), and a refreshments kiosk and toilet facilities at the centre of the reserve. The main paths are well surfaced and provide easy access to some of the biggest rocks, buildings and trig point at the centre of the area, but to see everything you'll need to negotiate some narrower, steeper trails. The area's accessibility and close proximity to Harrogate means it can get very busy on weekends, particularly during peak season, so I'd advise arriving first thing in the morning if you prefer a quieter visit. I've seen striking rock formations in widespread locations including Staffordshire, Sussex and Fife, but no other individual location has matched the variety and extent of Brimham Rocks. A unique place, and a must see for landscape photographers and those with an interest in geology. I spent a bit over 3 hours exploring every corner of the area.

This was a solid bakery to grab lunch, with the options presented clearly at the counter! Staff were approachable and very welcoming when I put in a donation, service was fast too. I enjoyed the unique chicken curry pasty and a couple of hash browns served on a red plate, seating is comfortable and table kept smooth!

I was shocked and appalled at the eat in vs take away prices. And no mention of the grossly inflated prices by the till staff. Granted, I should have paid more attention, but it’s clear underhanded ethics. Also granted, its not a terrible place to get takeaway if you don’t sit down, but it was probably the worst value meal I’ve ever had anywhere in the world. The tea and hot chocolate was terrible too. Conned and ripped off

Called in for a coffee and a Hot Sandwich. £1.50 extra for tomatoes on a large bacon sandwich which wasn't no where near a flat cake. Coffee ok, but only luke warm. Was told by the lovely member of staff it would cost extra to eat in, (ok i can understand that) BUT £4.90 EXTRA FOR 2 OF US IS SHOCKING. They need to put eat in prices at side of other prices. The Sandwiches were really nice, but hiding how much they charge for eating in. Wont be going back. 🤬🤬

I love this place! The staff are always friendly and chatty and they make the best cheese sandwich in the land! Not stingy with the fillings either , very generous and you get a bowl of crisps. Their hot chocolate is 10 out of 10 with lots of whipped cream on top and marshmallows if requested ( although I'm vegetarian so I just have with the cream).

Don’t get the positive reviews for this place. Was passing through and bought a few items. The iced doughnut was super salty and not sweet, the chocolate eclair was rock hard, the cappuccino tastes like a latte, and the croissants were super doughy. It was early in the morning so there’s that, but not a great reason. Nice location that’s about it.

Nice sausage roll in a local bakery thronging with customers. Bit pricey mind. Better than Greggs I guess.

Great bakery with lots if choices. We shared a hot beef & red onion sandwich with mustard mayo & a steak bake with a dessert cream meringue enough for 2 people at £10.00 super value and great quality.

Great day out in all weather. Lots to see and do. Had little trouble parking. Gallery & mill shops to enjoy. Small village with some nice shops, inc a bakery & arts and crafts. If you want to be outside, large beautiful clean park to stroll around in pathed walkways. Riverside pub/bistro to enjoy refreshments serving nice food & beer on tap. Nip up to the tramway for a little bit of historical cheap fun, very well run by hardworking & passionate volenteers.

I had a fabulous day. The art by Hockney is astounding. The exhibit showing his process was especially fascinating. We ate in the diner. Twas a lovely meal and the staff nicely attentive. Free parking, free art by premier artists, a fabulous building in wonderful surroundings. Great use of an old building. What's not to love?

My favourite place in Yorkshire! I’ve been coming here since I was a kid and still love it now. Great selection of shops, art, restaurants! Really well looked after building and I can spend hours in here!

A fascinating historic mill that has been transformed into a vibrant hub for arts, culture, dining, and community life. It’s best known for its impressive collection of David Hockney’s work, which alone makes it worth a visit. Alongside the art, you’ll find excellent dining options, engaging displays on the mill’s history, and insights into the surrounding village. With ample parking and so much to see and do, it’s an ideal place to spend the day.

Incredible place, We Will Sing is amazing and is highly recommend a visit just for this, I really wish I could buy a vinyl album of the recording it was breathtaking. But there are also wonderful shops with books, stationery etc. Quite a few eating options, the carrot cake in the upper cafe is heavenly! And of course the artwork is fantastic. Very highly recommend!

Loved this old industrial building, wonderfully preserved. Went to the free Hockney exhibition and perused the gallery upstairs and bolt on antique store. It looked like a great cafe in the place too. All in a beautiful part of the world. What a great place to walk around Saltaire is.

I hadn’t been to Salts Mill for a few years so it was lovely to be able to visit on Friday before we did the Shipley to Bingley 5 Rise Locks walk. The building itself is huge and very impressive then every door has so much to offer. There’s a lovely relaxed feeling throughout the building with staff and visitors enjoying the environment. We had a brief look at the seconds floor but then headed up to the third floor to have coffee in the Opera cafe.This is also the location of the David Hockney Gallery and it really works! I have seen Hockney’s work displayed in other venues less successfully but the sheer amount of space here was perfect to display the larger pieces. Our coffee and cakes were delicious and set us up nicely for our walk. I’ll definitely be coming back to spend more time in Saltaire and Salts Mill. Highly recommended!

I wanted to say a huge thank you to the theatre staff (especially the tall gentleman with glasses) and bbc production crew member who helped us on Sunday 12th October. My girlfriend and I booked tickets for us and our little girl to see the CBeebies panto on Sunday (or so we thought!) We arrived at the theatre early to make sure we could find our seats and get settled. We’d been sat in our seats for about ten minutes when, as kids do, she decided she needed the toilet. While I waited for my girlfriend and little girl to come back, a family arrived and looked a bit confused. ‘Sorry I think these are our seats’ we checked tickets and they noticed my tickets were for the night before! I felt awful, my little girl would be devastated if we had to leave. I thought I’d ruined the whole day. I gathered our things and made my way back to the exit to find my girlfriend in full panic mode. I saw a lady from the bbc production crew and begged her for help. She was so kind and understanding, she just said ‘don’t worry, it happens more than you’d think, we’ll sort something’. She went and found a member of the theatre staff (possibly the manager - the tall gentleman with glasses - wish I’d got their names!) who advised it was a full house but if we followed him he’d sort something out. 2 minutes later we were sat down in time for the panto and our little girl was none the wiser (she just thought we’d been given better seats!). It was completely our fault and they could have just shrugged and asked us to leave, but instead they went out of their way to help and avoided breaking my little girls heart, for that I’ll be forever grateful.

Pre-Show: Great waiting area, loads of space at the bars, rare to get a seat before a show starts but there were so many tables it made it quite easy. I did not buy any food or drink at the venue as I took my own water in and I saw other people with snacks so loved this aspect of the venue. The queue for the merchandise was ridiculously long and poorly placed (on the stairs so people were trying to get by). A second merchandise location would've helped. The toilets weren't busy when I went and there were a few dotted around which felt suitable for the theatre size. During show: I was in the Dress Circle, Row A, Seat 19. There is a railing that slightly obstructed my view but once the lights were down it was barely noticeable. The circle railing was at a good height to look over (I'm 5'3" and could see fine without leaning forward). The staff were helpful and seating space was good. The Show: I saw Percy Jackson and the Lighting Thief which was surprisingly better than I expected. I would recommend it to fans of mythology and the book/movie/TV show. Overall, after being in quite a few cramped London venues recently I really enjoyed the amount of space at this venue both inside the auditorium and front of house.

Watched the matinée performance of Mary Poppins. It was absolutely fantastic. Everyone on the stage was amazing. A must see show. The Alhambra is a lovely venue to watch a show. Comfy seats.

We ventured to Bradford from Wakefield. Theatre really easy to find, but then again it is world famous and plonked right bang in the middle of the middle of the city.Disney’s Mary Poppins was our choice for a Sunday Matinee performance. Everything about our experience was truly and wholeheartedly supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. The staff would go that extra mile to be helpful, I will definitely be visiting again.

Went to see Matilda and had a throughly entertaining evening. The theatre is bursting with character having enjoyed a very long and distinguished history. The architecture is, I think, stunning. The attention to detail is from an era when we took time to present in a far more discerning way. The seats are comfortable and, from tge dress circle, give a great view of tge stage. As far as Matilda, the production was brilliant, great acting, singing, laughs, lighting, special effects just fantastic. Top marks.

Went to see Mary Poppins, absolutely amazing! Couldn't fault it! The theatre set it off perfectly.. good facilities with friendly staff. Easy to get to with parking nearby and plenty of resteraunts too. Will happily go again 😀

Always a great experience, the production of Hamilton was amazing. Tge theater is a imposing building with amazing architecture and a great view from the very good restaurant on the upper floor. Disabled parking is great with easy access to the main building and lifts to the upper floor and restaurant. All in all a great theatrical experience. Top marks will be back soon.

We had a great time visiting the Bradford Science and Media Museum. The exhibits are engaging, interactive, and perfect for visitors of all ages. I especially loved the hands-on science displays and the fascinating film and TV history sections. The staff were friendly and helpful, making the experience even better. The gentleman giving the talk about the planets was fun and engaging. The museum offers a great mix of education and fun, with plenty of opportunities to explore and learn in a lively environment. Whether you’re interested in science, technology, or media, this museum is definitely worth a visit.

100% worth a visit. Free entry for most but a fee exhibits you pay extra to go in. The video game floor is by far the best £3 and you can play loads of retro and classic video games. (Also makes me feel old that video games are in a museum 😢)

Free entry to a fun packed, interactive experience. Suitable for all ages. No time limits. Small entry charges to some exhibits. A great family day out. Cafe and toilets.

Good museum with free entry. Wonderlab was the kids favourite area. Spent around 2 hours. Lifts take ages so easy to just use stairs. Has a gift shop.

Great day out with the kids, lots to do and they particularly enjoyed IMAX. Staff were lovely too. For an idea of ages, I took 7 and 11 year old boys.

Great variety of interactive and engaging exhibits, covering everything from photography to the internet. Good overall, and the free entry makes it fantastic value.

Oh the nostalgia! I used to visit here as a kid (maybe 15 years ago 😳). My visit today was the perfect combination of childhood memories and brand new experiences and IT’S FREE! Five floors of exhibitions…something for everyone. It’s a must if you’re in the area.

Wow, what a place! Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Gardens completely blew me away. The abbey ruins are absolutely stunning – huge, dramatic, and full of atmosphere. You can just wander around and lose yourself in the history. The gardens are gorgeous too – so beautifully designed with lakes, statues, little follies, and surprise viewpoints. Catching a glimpse of the abbey from across the water is like something out of a painting. We also spotted deer in the park which was a bit of a treat! Loads of walking routes to choose from, so you can do a quick wander or spend the whole day exploring. There’s also two good on-site cafes, one at the visitor centre, and one lakeside venue. There are also plenty of picnic spots if you bring your own. The whole place is spotless and really well looked after. This was one of the best days out I’ve had in ages – peaceful, scenic, and full of history. It is also a World Heritage Site to boot, so you are in for a treat!

We attends an evening event with a male voice choir which was just lovely. To explore the ruins in the dark/by torchlight gave it a very different feel. The acoustics for the concert were brilliant and gave me goosebumps! We will definitely return in the daytime to see it again. Nice to do something different, we had a great time.

Absolutely Stunning place to visit. The grounds are immense and walks were beautiful. So we'll looked after. I'll definitely be going back to see the rest of it, it is so vast. Tip. Go early and take a pick nic if it's nice, or enjoy the cafe on site.

The Abbey is beautiful and nd there is so much to see in the grounds. The Mill, Hall and the walk by the river through the woods to a lovely view point. The pools and statues are great. There are toilets and cafes in the grounds. Spent 5 hours there and still didn't get to see the deer park and church.

What a magnificent place to visit. Stunning ruins of the Abbey, most of it accessible to visitors young and old. Spread over a vast area. The gardens and water gardens are simply beautiful. You can walk round the water gardens it is a circular route. In places it is not suitable for all , but signs are in place to warn visitors. I highly recommend a visit

Stunning, a fantastic day out, set in a wonderful location, the Abbey remains are just amazing and maintained beautifully. We took the tour with a knowledgeable guide and was well worth it, the architecture is just amazing

Oh!!! What a place. I was not expecting this place to be as large as it was. I am so glad we visited. We came to the area for a couple of days and happened to find this place on Google maps. It didn't disappoint. Plenty of place for the kids, dogs and children at heart to run about and explore and climb. There is a restaurant on site too so you can have a meal after a long walk and explore of the area. By the Abbey there is also a little hut where you can buy drinks, sandwichs, ice cream ect. If I return to this area again. There is an old mill to look around and also a large house to go into with art to see. I will definitely be visiting again. Was 100% worth it. :D lots too see and do. We were here 5 hours

Had a lovely visit to the castle grounds today, young gentleman in the cafe was amazing and gave us great tips and advice on our visit, he was super friendly and highly respectful. Spent a few hours walking around the grounds then had a lovely coffee and scone in the cafe which was delicious and great value for money. Highly recommend a visit.

Lovey place yo visit. Went on Sunday there was market. Lovely little cafe and sandwiches we got were delicious. Massive grounds to walk in with the cows and deer roaming free. Definitely recommend for nice relaxing day out.

Lovely place to visit. We went on a Sunday so nothing was happening but it was still a pleasant stroll around the grounds. Parking charge was reasonable £1.80 for two hours. The cost of entry was OK as it goes towards the upkeep of the attraction.

The castle is closed for the foreseeable future (up for sale). The gardens were closed due to high winds, which was NOT posted on the website beforehand, so we traveled to the Castle for nothing. Took a short walk to the "waterfall" which is just the outflow from the dam that created the lake on the castle ground.

We arrived too late, so didn't get a chance to get inside, but the church next to the castle is beautiful and the route along the castle is nice. We had a little peak of the castle and the waterfall from outside the fence.

I had super fun time at Ripley Castle grounds. We visited the Castle for a team building activity and we really enjoyed the game competing to find the 12 Clues and answering the questions. Nothing is fun as competing with fully able-bodied while your team has an expecting woman. We had real fun and most of us left there already thinking about going back with friends or family. family. That shows the attractiveness of Ripley Castle grounds. The reason why I'm rating it 4 is because food nearby is very expensive, we ate a local Pub and it was so expensive such that I opted to water with my meal instead of a drink. The gentleman who assisted us with our games on 23/09/2025 was very helpful and fun. Much appreciation to him. We called our team the Slow Coach because we completed the challenge in 75 minutes! Overall- Ripley is worth visiting and even more enjoyable as a group.

Unfortunately it's closed and up for sale, however the village of Ripley is lovely! Had a great stay at the Boars Head. UPDATE: I Unfairly I gave a one star rating; I could have visited the gardens but it was the castle that I particularly wanted to see. My apologies to the owners who queried my one star rating.

Beautiful location with an extensive view over the valley. The tour is more a lecture as there is not much to see. I lived in California, where most tours were free, including the tasting, but here it is to generate income. It was informative, and the 3 wines tasted were surprisingly good even though all are relatively low alcohol. Lunch however was very good, food excellent,service friendly and attentive plus amazing views. Due to low wine production bottle prices are high which is understandable. As a food and beverage venue it is quite lovely. They do weddings and have accommodations which look nice. A vineyard in Yorkshire that until the day before my visit I did not know existed...definitely worth checking out and I think it is essential to support this kind of local business.

We called in for Sunday lunch after a tour /tasting session. (40 people were on the tour. The man that led the tour was very knowledgeable and funny.) However the tasting part were 3 different wines. 40 people shared 2 bottles of rose, 40 people shared 2 bottles of white wine and you've guessed it, 40 people shared 2 bottles of red wine. There was only just enough wine to take a couple of sips. For the same price the following week we visited a restaurant in Leeds and we had three wines - each glass 70% full plus a snack to accompany the wine. For the same price. The wines were rich in flavour. We had booked a Sunday lunch too and everything was presented well, good size portions, very hot plates. But the plates were taken off the table before we'd finished eating. I just finished and my plate was taken whilst my husband was still eating. His plate was removed whilst he still had his knife and fork in his hands and food in his mouth. We felt rushed out. We had gone to celebrate a birthday and the staff really spoilt it for us. Sadly we will not return.

Sunday dinner 3 course for £31 cannot complain at all. Amazing views and great service. Enjoyed a glass of two of their own wine. Starter was mid but the Sunday roast belly pork and sticky toffee pudding were amazing. Friendly staff too.

We booked for the dinner, bed & breakfast with vineyard tour. Absolutely amazing views. The apartment was lovely but is looking a bit tired in places. It's quite noisy as there is wooden decking outside so the sound of footfall echoes and vibrates through your room. You need to close the curtains as everyone who walks past looks in, I'm a fan of natural light so this irked me. The bed was comfortable and huge but the duvet didn't fit so we had to sleep in the middle of the bed so we both had cover. The service was great, the young lads who served us at dinner were outstanding and very accommodating. The food was great, it looked and tasted lovely. When we arrived for dinner a lady barged past us and was quite rude. We realised later that the lady worked there as she was seated at a table with a laptop. The black pudding, bacon & sausage were overdone and quite hard to cut. The choice of music over breakfast was slightly off putting. Jay-Z singing some horrendously racist words was appalling. We stupidly didn't say anything but a table nearby mentioned the same song. We inadvertently left a kindle & charger behind and emailed a lovely lady who advised us on postage. I've since received an email asking for an extra £5 (on top of the postage costs) for them to take it to the Post Office! A little bit steep, maybe they're not selling enough wine?! We've got to pay it otherwise we won't get our belongings back! Whatever happened to Common courtesy and doing a good deed?

Lovely winery. Did the tour £16pp for a 2 hour talk, and tasted 3 wines at the end. The guy doing the talk was excellent and went onto every detail about the vines and wines. Understandably they only produce small batches, but found the wine a bit pricy at £19 per bottle. Stunning views and well worth a visit.

We had afternoon tea followed by a vineyard tour and wine tasting. Beautiful place in a lovely setting. Just a shame the sun wasn't shining. The food was great, friendly staff. The vineyard tour was interesting and the wine was very nice, my favourite was the white wine. Would recommend this place , I think we'll be visiting again and have lunch next time.

Me and a friend had the pleasure of attending the wine tour and tasting and then finishing by sitting on the balcony enjoying an afternoon tea. The views were incredible. The food was yummy. The wine was scrumptious!

A bit overpriced for what is there but I'm glad I went. The "gift shop" is a little sparce. Everything I wanted was either out of stock or discontinued. All that said any fans of the series would like it.

We were really looking forward to visiting this place as we are great fans of the show. However, what a disappointment. The 'gift shop' was sparce with nothing really screaming 'buy me', and then we were asked for £4 each to visit the 'museum' a few steps up from it. Lots of photos and timeliness on the walls to look at with a small flat screen monitor showing a couple of out-takes and interviews. But the props looked neglected, damaged and dirty and the whole place looked like it could do with a thorough spring clean. Even the carpet was dirty and looked like it hadn't been vacuumed for weeks. Would not recommend.

Good experience looking back on the memories of the cast

Great if your a fan of the show very nostalgic its £4 each for the exhibition its small but nice you can wander at your leisure take pictures etc there isnt much pavement space when you walk around the village and some of the Hills are really steep theres loads of coffee shops and we parked in the co op car park it was 90 p for 3 hours great value

I went with my daughter just recently we were disappointed to find it not in good condition. It felt very neglected to us. we were sad to see this has we are great admires of the show. it was sad all the props and photos not given any respect. If bill Owen seen it he would be sad. because he created it

Nice collection of props etc from the loved TV series and lots of information on the 'story' of the show. Gift shop has lots of memorabilia to buy. The ornaments in the glass cabinet are particularly good. Worth a visit if you're a fan and in the area. There's plenty of cafes Holmfirth and even Sid's Cafe is an up and running cafe so you can grab a bite there ... if it's not busy!

They told me yesterday they would be open today from 10.30 until 3pm. Arrived at 12.15. Closed and in darkness. Terrible customer service. Very disappointing as have brought family here especially.

Loved it here. It was my first visit and the gardens are truly beautiful. Plants and trees are well established and currently displaying autumn colours in all their glory. Well worth visiting here. It's also worth converting your day ticket into an annual membership.

Went to go to bettys tea room as we had never been and WOW! Those pastries were out of this world. I had a vanilla slice which was the best I’ve ever had. Partner has a scone and he loved it. That had a lovely walk round the gardens and it was just stunning. The pictures don’t do it any justice.

What a wonderful place to visit, within walking distance of the centre of Harrogate! I came here on a coach trip, and stayed about two and a half hours. A lady at the entrance greeted us and gave us all a free map, which I found very helpful. Adult admission is £16.80 (it's £12.50 if you pre-book online), 5-16's get in for £5, and under-5's and RHS members go free. Lots of free parking. The garden is extensive, with well maintained tarmac and gravel paths, and a few hilly parts and steps, but most of it is wheelchair accessible, and you can hire a wheelchair or scooter at the entrance. Harlow Carr is a delight to explore, with colourful flower borders, a streamside walk, sandstone rock garden, lily ponds, a small lake, wildflower meadows, an arboretum, and much more. It all looked beautifully kept, the plants clearly labelled. I particularly loved strolling through woodland filled with lovely rhododendrons, azaleas, and other flowering shrubs, and relaxing on a swing bench among palms and exotic plants in the subtropical garden. There are plenty of wooden benches and shelters, picnic areas, toilets at the entrance and dotted around the garden, and a children's adventure playground and tree house in the woods. Three cafes, a garden centre and two gift shops. Betty's Tea House is the ideal place to chill: great view of the garden, and a good selection of drinks, cakes and sandwiches. The coffee was very good. Did not get to see all the gardens (you need at least three hours), but I thoroughly enjoyed wandering around them and getting close to nature. Will definitely come again!

Absolutely recommend. We got there by bus and there is a stop right off of the grounds which made it convenient. (Be sure to ask for the discount for not driving when you pay for entry. I think it’s 30% off for taking the bus or walking or biking). The cafe had a nice variety. The garden was extensive and so beautiful. Tons of space to lay out a blanket and enjoy the day. Def recommend staying for at least 2 hours (minimum) but you can spend the entire day here.

This place is a gem! Judging by the car park a lot of people already know. As to be expected, the gardens were beautiful and more plants than you can shake a stick at. There is a Betty's cafe right at the entrance and another inside, the food is homemade and very nice. Staff are very helpful and pleasant. You can hire a mobility scooter if required. It seems a little pricey for entrance fee.....but where isn't? However they have a number of exceptions which can reduce the cost. Not knowing what to expect prior to entry my wife and I were pleasantly surprised. I would highly recommend.....go early!

Beauty and peace here at all times of the year. My kids love it. Well worth the annual membership if you live nearby as it's not cheap for a single visit. Staff are always excellent. Lots of good gift ideas in the shops.

A fabulous place to visit. We go every season so much to see and its wonderful watching the newer projects as they develop. Plenty of places to eat and drink at reasonable prices. Though if you want to splash out there is always an option to visit Bettys Tea room and shop. Play area for the children and plenty of seating to relax in.

Such a beautiful and lovely place to visit. They have everything from fish, plants, outdoor decorations, barbecues, cafes, playgrounds, snacks & food, pet feed & toys, plants and more. I love the beautiful array of indoor plants, seeing the Koi Carp, the frozen bakery treats (great for the airfryer) and just walking around! There is so much to see :)

Fabulous garden centre with lots of areas. Plants to trees to gifts to bedding. Lots of eateries. Fabulous soft play area along with a huge outdoor area. My grandkids love the bouncing pillows and zip wire. We booked an outside cabin for an afternoon with afternoon tea. The food itself was a bit disappointing: every sandwich was tuna. I wouldn’t pay for the picnic lunch again. Despite this my grandkids had a wonderful visit.

I visited Grass Hoppers today with my three young children, and we all had a fantastic time. The indoor and outdoor play areas kept my kids entertained for hours, and everything was spotlessly clean. I really appreciated the thoughtful touches, like the step in the toilets to help little ones reach the sink. All the staff were friendly, helpful, and welcoming. There is a really good selection of snacks and drinks and the coffee was really good! As we were leaving, my 7 year old daughter got lost for a few minutes, and I was understandably panicking. The staff at reception responded immediately and knew exactly what to do, they handled the situation calmly and professionally, and my daughter was found quickly and safely. I’m so grateful for their quick action and kindness. A wonderful, safe, and family friendly place, we’ll definitely be back!

Love this garden centre. Part of a group. The plants are always top quality. Staff are very knowledgeable. The restaurant is very good, the breakfast is really nice. Fresh products taste so much better!

Visited for a birthday meal in The Mezzanine restaurant. Had the Sunday beef roast dinner which was excellent. Prices are reasonable and the menu, besides the roast, had a decent offer. Service was good and expectations managed by explaining that they were busy and there might be a wait - there wasn't! The garden centre is extensive and had great seasonal sections - Christmas at present. Plenty typical of parking but it can get VERY busy! Worth a look.

Its been many years, since I've been to Tong garden centre. We decided to have a trip out to the centre on Sunday for the lovely Christmas decoration displays, Very surprised how it has expanded. Though very busy, plenty of space to look around. We decided to have lunch, we went to the upstairs restaurant plenty of empty tables we went to sit down when we were rudely abruptly asked if we have booked, we said no, to be told it was full all tables booked. If that was the case why so many empty tables at 2pm in the afternoon & where were all these people that had booked. We went to the cafe down stairs no problem getting a seat there were plenty of tables free. Ordered our food. The service was very slow food Pilling up on the counter waiting to go out, getting cold. Our food came it wasn't hot. My order got forgotten I had to reorder again waiting staff were very slow they obviously can't cope with the size of the cafe. My experience of our visit, I won't be back in a hurry.

I recently visited Tong Garden Centre and was really impressed by how beautiful and clean the place was — it’s such a lovely spot to walk around and browse. However, I was quite disappointed with the food. I ordered a jacket potato with tuna, and unfortunately, it was awful — it tasted obviously reheated and not fresh at all. Such a shame, as everything else about the visit was wonderful. I’d definitely go back for the garden centre itself, but I’d think twice before eating there again.

We weren't sure what to expect, apart from seeing some beautiful birds, but the shows were incredible! The keepers were so passionate and knowledgeable about the birds and the shows were breathtaking. I cannot recommend this place and show highly enough. Thank you for a fabulous day out.

A fantastic experience for my two teenage boys and myself as a spectator taking pictures etc. Took them for the full day experience for my youngest sons 16th birthday treat. The staff make it such a fantastic experience. Really friendly, knowledgeable and hard working. Made to feel very welcome and we just had a great day. The birds are awesome. So many different experiences in one day with loads of different birds.Can’t recommend it enough. Such a great experience and a wonderful memory and a great way to appreciate nature and the efforts of those people who help to preserve and look after such wonderful creatures.

Had an excellent time here. Though fairly small, it punched well above it's weight. The birds all seed to be happy, and they worked very well with their handlers. Owls, Eagles, hawks, and even vultures!!! The shop has various souvenirs, and some light snacks for lunch. You won't be disappointed with a trip here

Highly recommended, my partner and I enjoyed the half day owl experience, but spent the full day at the centre enjoying the flying demonstrations and looking at all the different birds. Really knowledgeable staff who clearly care about the birds.

We have visited this Bird of Prey Centre a number of times over the last 25 years or so. It is absolutely fantastic. You can clearly see all the birds are very well looked after. It is spotlessly clean. The staff are outstanding. The flying displays are out of this world. Different birds used in every display. They have now introduced an African flying display for the Sumner months. This was exceptional!

Went on a whim for something different to do and what a great decision really interesting day and at just over £20.00 for two good value lots of birds to see and a couple of engaging displays of flying too.

A truly amazing experience - some incredible birds, a beautifully kept facility, spotlessy clean - a recommended day out.

A short walk in Valley Gardens during a day out in Harrogate. It is a beautiful park that offers not only green area where you can have picnic, walk your dog, jog or have family time; it offers you a tranquil space with lots of flowers and plants where you can unwind and immerse yourself in nature's beauty. The park has well maintained grounds, you can visit Japanese Garden, New Zealand garden, woodlands or be active and spend some time at boating pool, skate park, tennis court, crazy golf, paddling pool or playground. Whatever you decide to to, the place has something to offer to everyone. If you need some refreshments, there is a cafe and refreshments spot next to Games Pavilion. Toilets available as well.

What an absolute gem of a park. Very picturesque, serene and pleasant walk through with a beautiful victoriana style cafe and beautiful views across the park. Plenty of benches for seating. I saw a few dog walkers. One thing I notices was how clean and well kept it was. Also, I didn't see any noticeable dog doodoos which was great. I could spend a day there with a book, flask with hot tea and snacks and relax and down tools. It has a very calming aura. I think there's a hotel on the higher ground overlooking the park? I think it's a lovely place to go to get some quiet time or to go for a nice sit and chat.

Beautiful and well maintained gardens. Even at the end of October there were still flowers in bloom. I imagine this park is lovely in all seasons but the autumn colours were stunning. Once a month, on a Sunday, there is an artisan market. There was a range of food & drink stalls, stands selling gifts, and more.

Possibly the most beautiful public park I’ve ever visited. This park is incredible. The variety of gardens and woodland is stunning and the children’s play area is incredible. There are food vendors within the park and you can easily spend a few hours just walking around.

Beautiful park, amazing trees and plants. Had a funfair in park if you have little ones. Live music and has tennis courts and mini golf. Not sure if fair and live music on all time but we went on Sunday 27th July.

“A real jewel of Harrogate — the Valley Gardens are bursting with colour, winding paths, and hidden corners. From the elegant Sun Pavilion to the Japanese Garden, it’s a place where every turn feels like it's straight from a postcard. Whether you’re strolling with family, stopping for coffee, or simply breathing in the roses, it’s a slice of calm and beauty in the middle of town and bursting with charm.

First time visit and a truly lovey gardens. Love band playing which had a good crowd. A farmers/craft market was also on, plenty of choice and all good quality but we didn’t purchase anything on this occasion.
