7 things not to miss in Whitby!
After a recent week spent staying near Whitby, here are 7 things not to miss if you’re in the area. Whitby Abbey You can’t visit Whitby and not have a glimpse of the Abbey. We’ve never actually been inside but this time bought a family ticket. There was a Viking event on the weekend we…
A long weekend in Alnwick, Northumberland
We’ve just come back from a long weekend in Alnwick, Northumberland. We’ve been wanting to go back since taking the kids nearly ten years ago. With its glorious coastline, abundance of castles and pretty villages there really is something for everyone. Which will explain why, along with obvious global reasons, it was so difficult to…
Hewenden Viaduct Walk
We finally made it on the Hewenden Viaduct walk, a family walk I had been itching to try for ages. It was rather more adventurous than I had anticipated and so I have given several options at the bottom of the post for those with little legs, who prefer wheels or don’t like the idea…
A new toy – Ooni Fyra Pizza Oven
An impulse buy and new toy a few months ago, was an Ooni pizza oven! A treat to myself and something to look forward to when I broke up from Uni for the Summer. There was quite a wait for it to arrive, as I think most of the country must have ordered one too….
Embsay Reservoir and Embsay Crag
This Embsay reservoir walk is a great little walk if you’ve tiny people, or those who can’t walk far. Although there is plenty of land to explore above the reservoir too, including Embsay Crag. In case you’re feeling more adventurous! I can’t remember where we were in restrictions at this point, but I remember taking…
Loving this Spring 2021
A place to share what I’m currently loving this Spring, either items I’ve bought or places we’ve been to that I think deserve a shoutout. I have received no incentive for sharing these. Hello, I’ve not done one of these for a while, but I’ve recently bought a few items that I wanted to share…
Marsden Pule Hill – New Year’s Day Walk
I was so excited to go for a walk near Marsden at Pule Hill. We try and go for a walk to welcome in the new year, last year visiting Hackfall woods for a festive walk. Obviously, the Christmas celebrations were rather different this year. A walk in Marsden has been on the list for…
Stainburn Forest walk – The need for more trees!
I have been neglecting my blog a little these past few months. A combination really of, well you know what, and my uni course has been keeping me in front of the computer. It hasn’t felt right to be promoting the great outdoors when not everyone can go out and enjoy it. I have been…
Bramley Fall woods – A walk amongst the trees
Are you in need of walks in the trees? Do you think it’s an ‘Autumn thing’ or with everything going on do people just need to connect with nature? I certainly needed a tree kind of walk this weekend. I would have loved to have gone to a forest, but with the new tier system…
Gargrave – A short walk and trig bagging for little legs
With a rare Mummy and Daughter day, we decided to take our new walkie talkies on a short walk in Gargrave. Gargrave is just a couple of miles from Skipton North Yorkshire, off the A65, has a few shops and the Leeds Liverpool canal running through it. From the free carpark, we turned right up…
