Activities

Kirkbymoorside itself, while still a working place, retains a charming atmosphere of times gone by, with its partially cobbled main street, its many interesting buildings, and a lovely medieval church.

  • The Abbeys of Rievaulx, Byland as well as numerous medieval priories and churches to see
  • Stately homes and historical houses of Castle Howard, Duncombe Hall, Nunnington Hall and Shandy Hall
  • Market towns of Pickering and Helmsley
  • The North York Moors for scenery, walking and other outdoor activities
  • North Yorkshire Moors Railway for scenic rides from Pickering to Goathland (where 'Heartbeat' is filmed)
  • The coastal beaches of Scarborough and Whitby are only 35-40 minutes away
  • Ryedale Folk Museum
  • Eden Camp
  • Flamingo Land

Plenty of local activities including a superb golf course at Kirkbymoorside (preferential rate available) as well as other championship courses nearby.

These are too numerous to list in their entirety. Ask for leaflets and details when you arrive.
