On both days there will be a hard walk of 10-12 miles and an easier walk of 6-8 miles with less ascent.  We can offer a full range of grades at this centre please check that the grades offered are suitable for your group.

The area around the house is ideal for walking and some of the walks will start from the house. However, on one of the days the walks we will start another location, e.g. Goathland, to allow the walkers to explore different terrain.

There are also a myriad of picturesque coastal and rural villages to explore e.g. Staithes and Robin Hoods Bay and the delightful ‘Heartbeat’ villages of Grosmont and Goathland. In the evening you can relax in the comfortable lounges of the hotel or wander into the town to explore the local pubs.
