Set within the village of Brandsby, the magnificent city of York and the North York Moors are both within 12 miles. The beautiful surrounding countryside offers ample walking and cycling opportunities, and within 4 miles are Crayke and Gilling, both with a popular gastropub. The pretty market towns of Easingwold, Helmsley and Thirsk are within 14 miles and offer weekly markets, traditional tearooms, good restaurants, and old world charm.
