Thorp Perrow

100 acres of beautiful woodland gardens and the UK's finest Bird of Prey & Wildlife center. Walks, trails and glades to explore. One of the finest collections of trees in the North of England. As well as the gardens founded by Sir Leonard Ropner, Thorp Perrow also includes Milbank Pinetum planted by Lady Augusta Milbank in the nineteenth century and the 16th century Spring Wood. Thorp Perrow is home to five National Plant Collections; Tilia (Lime), Fraxinus (Ash), Cotinus (Smoke Bush), Laburnum and Juglans (Walnut) and boasts 66 Champion trees in its collection. Thorp Perrow is also home to a Bird of Prey and Mammal Centre. Situated in the old walled garden is a collection of birds of prey and mammals. With daily flying displays and tours lots for all the family to see and do! Children can let off some steam in our woodland playground whilst parents can enjoy a nice cup of tea and some delicious cake from our tearoom. A fantastic day out all year round

We went there with our 5 and 3 years old children and spent around three hours. They thoroughly enjoyed the bird display and wallabies and we will definitely come back during summer so we could spend a bit more time exploring.

Harrogate Ringway

Reviewed By C3027MYgaryc - Dunblane, United Kingdom

We walked from Harrogate to Knaresborough along a path which featured big bits of the ring way It was a fair old walk, expected 7 miles felt more like 8-9 The bit along the river was really nice, quite uneven but lots of boardwalks although there were lots of missing planks to watch your step Lots of places to stop and paddle

Chimney Bank Mines

Reviewed By meikant - Brisbane, Australia

For the part time "strolling" walker, this track provides a wonderful intro into the beautifully stark North Yorkshire Moors. Breathtaking is an oft used word, but still applies. You will stroll past the old Rosedale Ironwork calcining kilns and along the disused rail track from the ironstone mines. you can walk as far as you wish along an even path, with only sheep for company and views out over the moors and then down into the verdant valley below. Very relaxing! If you wish to lift the blood pressure back up again, then take the steep incline drive down to Rosedale Abbey after your stroll.
