Didn’t see the northern lights last night, but what a great night for stargazing. We are in one of the darkest spots in the North York Moors, so a fabulous place to come and the amazing dark skies we get here.

🌅🌿 A Bimble Around the North York Moors 🌿🌅

Yesterday we took a lovely bimble around the North York Moors, just a 5-minute drive from our holiday cottages Rawcliffe House Farm Holiday Cottages The heather is just starting to bloom, giving the moors with a beautiful purple hue. We enjoyed a leisurely hour-long walk along the Roman Road & back along the road, taking in all the breathtaking views and fresh air. Although we didn't come across any cake on our walk, we might just have to remedy that today! 😋

Come and experience the magic of the North York Moors for yourself! Book your stay at Rawcliffe House Farm and create unforgettable memories in this stunning landscape.

On a sunny day this week we went to Scampston Hall, a short drive away.

We strolled through the amazing gardens designed by Capability Brown and enjoyed the modern Walled Garden by Piet Oudolf. The grand hall was incredibly impressive, and we loved the guided tour, where we learned about its rich history.

Naturally, cake 🍰had to be involved, so we paid a visit to the café. The sandwiches were so huge that we had to take the cake home for later! It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it😀
Scampston Hall truly offers something for everyone – lovely gardens, fascinating history, and cake 🧁😀.

We look forward to returning and experiencing its beauty and charm again, and seeing the gardens at a different time of year.

We're proud to have had the opportunity to support you during this incredible accomplishment.
