Ripon is a fine centre for a Yorkshire holiday with easy access to the surrounding attractions. Only 3 miles away is Fountains Abbey with its World Heritage gardens and the adjoining Studley Royal deer park. Both Newby Hall, about 2 miles away, and Beningborough Hall, nearer York, have excellent tourist facilities with stately homes and attractive gardens. The village of Masham with its large traditional market square and two breweries is worth a visit. Brimham Rocks owned by the National Trust offers interesting walks. The North Yorkshire Dales and Moors with their wild landscapes and cosy stone villages offer some of the most interesting walking and cycling countryside available. Ripley Castle, owned by the Ingilby family for 675 years, is open to visitors. Racing enthusiasts are, of course, well catered for with many racecourses in Yorkshire. We have Ripon racecourse which has many meetings through the summer, including some in the evening, and which can be combined with other local meetings for a racing holiday. The elegant spa town of Harrogate is 10 miles away and the many attractions of York are about 25 miles away.

Parties can be accommodated for weekends with dinner but you must provide your own wine. Ask for details.
