Give yourself time to retreat and unwind in the peaceful surroundings of the Yorkshire countryside. Stroll around the medieval city of Richmond that is just 3 miles away from the park, or visit Leyburn and Bedale that lie just to the south. If you are looking for more action then you can try walking, fishing or golf that are all available locally. However, if that is all too energetic then you can simply just relax with a glass of wine on your balcony, listening to the birds singing whilst the sun sets over the valley.
