This page tells you about the area surrounding Little
Edstone, places to visit, hobbies and interests that the area
provides for, plus some suggested places for eating out.
Little
Edstone organic farm and self-catering cottages is a unique location
for a combined sea and country holiday. The beautiful North Yorkshire
Moors are a delight to explore either on foot or by car, or alternatively,
the steam railway runs along stunning scenery through many unspoilt
villages including Goathland ('Aidensfield' in the television
series Heartbeat).
Castle
Howard is within easy driving distance, the coast is easily accessible
and the popular seaside resorts of Scarborough and Whitby are
delights not to be missed.
The
quaint cobbled streets of Robin Hood's Bay, once a favourite haunt
with smugglers, will keep children and adults entertained for
hours with its shoreline full of strange and colourful pebbles.
Flamingo
Land Zoo (a popular theme park) is well worth the visit.
The
market town of Helmsley is 6 miles distant and has shops and inns
as well as pretty walled gardens.
Many
National Trust properties can be found within a 15 mile radius,
including Nunnington Hall, Byland Abbey and Duncomb Park to name
but a few. The ancient city York is but a 45-minute drive (27
miles).
Excellent
walking can be found from the doorstep or after a 5 minute drive on toThe Moors. All the cottages combine
country living, yet are close enough to the coast to keep any
visitor happy, whatever type of holiday they may be looking for.
Little Edstone Farm is the perfect place in which to relax and
unwind - whatever time of year.
