Bank Holidays
Typical! Raining on and off all weekend back to work and the sun is shining…Some of the staff working here had a busy weekend and I thought it would be worth telling you about their exploits.
One of the girls went down to London for the weekend – there is an excellent train service from York, some of them are straight through and the journey only takes 2 hours, she took in a couple of shows – Dirty Dancing and Thriller and also a trip on the London Eye and had a thoroughly good time. Now whilst she got a bargain on the Hotel front she did complain about the price of drinks, she ordered a Rose wine spritzer and her boyfriend had a pint of beer the price was £11.30 which is far in excess of the prices up here and was not helped by another of the girls saying that she had bought 2 drinks and 2 lunches in the local in Thirsk for £10……
One of the other girls is a keen walker and went up Helvellyn on Saturday – there are excellent links to the Lake District from Valley View Farm and it will not take you long if you fancy climbing one of the highest peaks in England.
Once you are at the top, and as you can see the views are far reaching and stunning, you can take several options of how to get down, you can go up via Striding Edge and come back down the other side - Squirrel Edge or extend the walk and go via Dolly Wagon Pike and down through the valley and back round to Ullswater this should take you about 6 hours and a great sense of achievement when you get down to the bottom – although the lambs did not look too impressed.

Favourite Places In North Yorkshire & North York Moors
I asked one of our recent guest what their favourite place was that they had visited as they packed in lots of the great sights of the North York Moors whilst they were staying at Valley View Farm cottages.
What's your favourite place in North Yorkshire and the North York Moors - would love to hear about it?!
If you fancy a break in the North York Moors then why not make your base one of the Valley View Farm Cottages.
" Favourite place, I don't think I can pick one. Loved the walk to Rievaulx Abbey it was beautiful. White Scar Caves, fab! Sarah"One of my favourite places is Sutton Bank where the views are spectacular and then I do also love a trip to Whitby for fish and chips.
