About The Area

Yorkshire, a land of rolling hills, heather and moorland, dramatic sea cliffs and hidden beach coves, historical cities and mythical folklore. The county is home to two of the UKs most famous national parks, The Yorkshire Dales and The Yorkshire Moors - both offering excellent walking, hiking and cycling routes, stunning scenery and historical abbeys.

The city of York is famed for its cobbled streets, chocolatiers and a rich history dating back to Roman and Viking times. With over 30 visitor attractions in the city there’s plenty to see and do, from visiting the stunning York Minster with it’s jaw-dropping stained glass windows, discovering Viking heritage at the JORVIK centre to exploring the city’s spooky past with one of the many Ghost Tours on offer. 

Nestled between the Yorkshire Dales and the Yorkshire Moors The Hideaway sits on a 712 year old medieval manor, surrounded by woodland and wildflower meadows and although it’s only 17 miles from the City of York you’d be forgiven for feeling like you’re in the middle of nowhere. With walks and cycle paths to enjoy right from your doorstep, nearby pubs and restaurants as well as lots of adventurous activities to discover during your stay we’re sure you’ll have plenty to keep you busy but if you’re looking to explore the wider area here’s a few suggestions to get you started: 

• Go extreme and see Yorkshire from the air with Baxby Microlight flights and lessons based right here on the farm

• Eat like a king at the nearby Black Swan at Oldstead, voted the “Best Restaurant in the World” by Tripadvisor or the Michelin Star restaurant, The Star at Harome

• Spend a day in York and discover the city’s heritage, chocolate and top it off with a spooky Ghost Tour

• Discover the beautiful countryside on horseback or take an Alpaca for a walk in Hambleton Hills.  This is a great way to enjoy the area for those with young children
