Activities
We met Jennifer when we were looking for someone to carve a date stone for our latest project.
Jennifer produces some amazing stone sculptures and also runs a few stone carving courses each year.
Under Jennifer’s guidance Roger spent a weekend turning a piece of limestone into a carving of a highland bull.
Malton is gaining a big reputation for food and attracting unique food producers.
With just a few organised tours each month, early booking is strongly recommended.
Choose from the artisan or gin o’clock tour.
York Cycling Tours will take you off the beaten track to fascinating places you won’t see on a typical bus or walking tour. Travelling on cycle paths and designated lanes at a leisurely pace, you’ll get a factual but good-humoured look at York’s fascinating and often grisly history. Tours take about two hours with an average travelling speed of 1,000 years an hour.
27 hole, easy walking, parkland course, offering ultimate flexibility with three loops of nine all leading back at the clubhouse.
Choose from either Tree Top Adventure with zip wires and high ropes or Forest Segway.
