Explore the joys of the great outdoors

As well as plenty of open space to run around and just explore the joys of the great outdoors, there are endless activities to keep children of all ages amused, whatever the weather. Across the Dales there are farms and activity centres where kids can have fun whilst learning about life in the country.  They can interact with the pigs at Hesketh Farm Park near Bolton Abbey, or feed the lambs at Holme Open Farm. For a day out with a difference why not visit the intriguing Forbidden Corner at Leyburn. This magical garden full of eccentric follies and all sorts of riddles and surprises will delight young and old alike. As this is a very popular attraction, pre booking is essential.

Thrill seekers can head to Lightwater Valley near Ripon, to enjoy some top quality theme park fun, including the longest rollercoaster in Europe. Those who prefer to take life at a steadier pace might like to hop on a historical steam train at the North York Moors Railway or the Embsay  and Bolton Abbey Steam Railway. A great way to sit back and enjoy the best of the Yorkshire countryside. For more high tech fun, there are plenty of opportunities for geocaching and cache trails have been set up in key areas across the National Park.
 

Yorkshire Dales has a rich and fascinating history

The Yorkshire Dales has a rich and fascinating history and there is no more impressive reminder of some of its most turbulent times than the castles that have survived down the centuries. Some of the highlights include Bolton Castle near Leyburn, which was once the prison of Mary Queen of Scots, Middleham, the former residence of Richard III, and Skipton Castle, known as the gateway to the Dales, wonderfully preserved, complete with impressive dungeons and watchtower.

There is so much to see and do in the Yorkshire Dales, and no shortage of accommodation to match every itinerary and budget. For walkers and countryside explorers, the most convenient choice is normally bed and breakfast or a self catered cottage. Most of these are dog friendly and provide easy access to local walks and facilities. Choose from the tranquility of a remote rural setting, or the convenience of a small town or village. For a more luxurious break, The Dales has a wonderful selection of boutique and spa hotels where you can relax in the splendour of a grand country house and enjoy some well deserved pampering.
