Things To Do
The Great Outdoors
Whether it’s a gentle walk or an energetic cycle ride, Cropton Forest Lodge cottages are surrounded by great way marked walks and off road cycle routes through forest and glorious countryside.
It is the perfect retreat and an ideal base to explore the stunning scenery of North Yorkshire and it’s coastline.
The nearby Dalby Forest has many attractions including the Go Ape tree top walk for those with a head for heights and who love adventure.
The world class mountain bike trails of around 50KM (Pickering and Dalby Forest hosted the annual World Mountain Bike Championships in 2010 and 2011) are graded for all levels of riders from beginners to professionals. A great day out! Bikes can be hired for the day.
Dalby Forest also hosts `Go Ape` a tree top course for the adventurous, if you dare!
Badger Watching
Join us at a purpose built hide
to watch the badgers in their natural habitat,
as they venture form their setts to play and feed. There
are also roe and red deer, foxes, birds and a whole
host of forest wildlife that may wander into view.
The viewings are between May and August, places
are limited, so book early!
The viewing is for around 2 1/2 hours, from 7pm (approx) to 9.30pm (approx) - depending on light levels. Price is £10 per person, group discounts apply - please enquire.
Sightseeing
We are a perfect base for those who want to
explore the dramatic landscapes and picture postcard
village of the North York Moors.
A 45 minute scenic drive will take you over
the heather laden moors to the traditional fishing
town of Whitby, into the historic City of York,
or to the Baroque masterpiece, Castle Howard.
The North York Moors Steam Railway
stops at Levisham station, a short walk or drive
through the forest, and just one stop away is
Goathland, probably better known as the Heartbeat
TV series village of Aidensfield.
