DAYS OUT FOR FREE!

Ailsa Teasdale • Jul 20, 2023

Holidays can get expensive if you are paying out for activities everyday...

Here's our guide of how to fill your week for FREE!

This year more than ever so many of us are having to be a but more conscious of how we spend our money, but that is no reason to miss out on your holidays & the special memory making time that they bring!


So grab yourself a packed lunch & head out doors into the North York Moors National Park! Here are some ideas of how to fill you day for free (or just the price of a parking ticket!)


  • MONDAY -    You can walk straight for your door at High Farm up onto the Heather Moorland and be feasting on bilberries within 1mile of the farm. There are endless walking and cycling routes that will fill your week, without even jumping in your car!
  • TUESDAY -    The National Park has two visitor centres, Sutton Bank National Park Centre and Danby Lodge National Park Centre at Danby. The main focus at Sutton Bank is Walking and Cycling with Cycle hire available.
  • WEDNESDAY -    Whilst at Danby there is more to see inside as well as out and both sites have extensive play areas and plenty of activities happening throughout the year and lovely short walks from the centres with fantastic scenery to be enjoyed. 
  • THURSDAY -    Dalby Forest is similar offering Walks and Cycle Routes, extensive play areas and also rivers and play in an rocks to climb over. Dalby has everything from a flat, pushchair friendly short walk and kids cycle skills area, right up to long and testing routes for the more competent riders!
  • FRIDAY -    The National Park is full of heather moorland and Jurassic coastline with its traditional Fishing Villages to explore. They are beautiful to look at but even more wonderful when you start to learn some of the history surrounding their past!
  • SATURDAY -   Why not have another day on the coast? There is plenty of Fossil Hunting and Rockpooling to be done when you get down onto one of the beautiful sandy beaches.
  • SUNDAY -    Are you ready for a rest yet?? Maybe you'll need another week with us to recover!?


Details of all these activities can be found on our  Local Area or Beadlam Rigg  pages of our website.

And don't worry if you can't manage a full week away, this summer we are offering Monday to Friday and Friday to Monday breaks to make things a more affordable. Book direct through our website or please do get in touch if you have any other questions you'd like to ask. 

We look forward to seeing you to start your adventure soon!
