Local Attractions
We are located 1 mile outside of Pickering, down a quiet country lane - ensuring a peaceful and tranquil stay with us. Below you will find information about the local area and local attractions, including family days out and visits to York.
Railway
Pickering is the end of the line for the NYM Railway, and trains now run to Whitby
Eden Camp
You can spend an entire day at Eden Camp and still not see all of the attractions available. Here you will be taken back in time - to Britain during the Second World War. A historic museum unlike any other - Eden Camp was originally a prisoner of war camp. Today you can experience the sights, sounds, and even the smells of wartime Britain.
Flamingo Land
For high adrenaline rides and a lively day - with fun for all the family, Flamingo Land takes some beating. With over 1.4 million visitors in 2005 - it remains one of the UK's most popular tourist attractions. If you're not one for the rides - or you have small children, then fear not; as Flamingo Land also has an amazing Zoo - with a huge variety of animals, from the most deadly to the nearly extinct.
York
York is within easy reach and has much to offer; including Jorvik Viking Centre, The National Railway Museum, York Minster - one of Europe's finest Cathedrals, and York Racecourse.
Castle Howard
Castle Howard provides a grand and leisurely day out. Enjoy the garden, grounds and Manor.
Dalby Forest
The forest drive and scenic walks of Dalby Forest provide an excellent day out all by itself, or for a more detailed trip - why not include them in a circular tour of the area.
