Activity Holidays

We can offer walking and cycling holidays. In both cases we can provide everything you need including experienced guides and equipment such as mountain bikes.

Walking Holidays

There are several well known walks that pass very close Cropton Forest Lodge

• The `The Lyke Wake` walk ,
• The `Link Walk`
• The ` Newtondale Trail `
• The `Tabular Hills Walk`

All offer stunning scenery with some breathtaking view points.

Cropton Forest is a `right to roam`forest, and has many quiet tracks that will let you forget all the pressures of everyday life, whilst you watch and listen to the abundant wildlife. Walk from our gate straight into this wonderland!

Local guides are available for guests and group bookings who would like to walk a route or take part in an activity holiday that will be tailored specifically for their ability. Guides can also give talks about the local area covering the geology, history, wildlife - fauna and flora, or if required, specific subjects.

Please enquire so we can check availability of guides and book for your stay.

Cycling Holidays

We have partnered up with Purple Mountain, a local company based at neighbouring Dalby Forest who will provide quality 'Kona' mountain bikes with front suspension for maximum comfort).

They will also provide written, tried and tested routes tailored to your ability, with maps and information on the routes (and pubs!) for self led groups. Or if you prefer, an experienced guide can accompany you, to give you the confidence to try more challenging routes and tracks.
