The house is 1.5 miles from the pretty market town of Pickering. This is a wonderful base for exploring the North York Moors and the nearby coastline. A steam train winds its way from Pickering over the rolling heather, through valleys and over hills to many picturesque villages all the way to Whitby and is ideal for a special day out; in December it becomes a themed Christmas Santa Special. One of the highlights on the calendar in Pickering is the annual War Weekend, where battle re-enactments take place and live music can be enjoyed, and when the town seems to slip back in time. The surrounding North York Moors is a haven for walkers with many trails to explore and an abundance of wildlife. Dalby Forest has a choice of trails for cyclists as well as walkers, whilst thrill seekers have the Go Ape zip lines through the tree tops. Nearby is Malton, the food capital of Yorkshire, with a market, award-winning restaurants and a cookery school.
For history lovers, Castle Howard is one of Britain’s finest stately homes, sure to fill you with awe, or you can visit the castle, walled gardens and the abbey’s at Helmsley, as well as the photogenic priory in Guisborough. There are also the beaches at Scarborough, Filey and Bridlington nearby to explore. Flamingoland theme park and zoo is a real treat for children, only 5 minutes away. Beach 19 miles. For dog friendly breaks, this is an ideal choice there is even a local dog exercise field a 10 minute walk away, where they are safely enclosed and they can enjoy a good run off lead.

The only thing I could say that the cutlery was very cheap I know it's a minor complaint but it doesn't go with the rest of the house which was fantastic.
