Things To Do Around Red House Farm
Walking and sight-seeing are the most popular activities for the area, but we are happy to arrange or provide contact numbers for fishing, riding or mountain bike hire. If you wish to fish for salmon or sea trout, it is wise to book in advance during the autumn. Although there are sections of the river open to the public, these tend to get heavily used when the salmon are running.
Or take a ride on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway from Grosmont to Pickering. With its magnificent steam engines and beautiful rural stations it´s like taking a step back in time. A holiday you won´t forget!
You are within a short driving distance of Goathland (Aidensfield of "Heart Beat" TV series), the coast (Whitby, Robin Hood's Bay, Ravenscar, Staithes), Helmsley, Riveaulx Abbey and many other very interesting places.
Visit pituresque Whitby. From the old town of Whitby, 199 steps lead up to the parish church of St. Mary. The churchyard gave Bram Stoker the inspiration to write his world famous book, Dracula. Whitby is part of the Heritage Coast of North East England. Here you can see the replica of Captain Cook's ship " Bark Endeavour".

They have a large section with useful telephone contacts of local activity providers, fishing, golf, swimming etc. They also provide publications on walking and a yearly guide to the area - all in all far more than we could ever do. Well worth the visit for information for your holidays in North Yorkshire.
