The Times Reveals Great British Rambles In Yorkshire
I have been enjoying reading all the travel articles on the Times Online website and I thought that Valley View Farm readers would find it interesting to know which walks in Yorkshire, the Times Online reveals as Great British Rambles.
Muker to Keld, Yorkshire Dales
The Malham Classic, Yorkshire Dales
Bolton Abbey and the Strid, Yorkshire
Rosedale, Yorkshire
Pen-y-Ghent, Yorkshire
Kettlewell and Conistone Moor, North Yorkshire
My personal favourite has to be the walks at Sutton Bank but then I'm biased as I live near sutton Bank. What is your favourite walk or ramble?
There are many great walks and rambles in Yorkshire and especially on the North York Moors, where my farm and holiday cottages are based. So why notstay at one of my Valley View Farm Cottages and enjoy the many walks in the area.

Runswick Bay Picked As A Favourite Secret Beach By BBC Coast Presenter
Runswick Bay has been picked as a favourite secret beach by the BBC's Coast presenter Miranda Krestovnikoff.
In the Times Online article of 20 secret beaches in the British Isles, Miranda describes Runswick Bay as, "Sheltered by the lofty crag of Lingrow Knowle, Runswick Bay is a tranquil spot, a welcome stretch of sand on what is otherwise a walker’s coast. While it comes to life during the summer months, in winter it is a peaceful spot for a bit of beachcombing, with rocky outcrops where you’ll find fossils aplenty."
From this description it sounds like Runswick Bay would make an ideal day out at any time of year, so why not make your base one of my six Valley View Farm Cottages and enjoy a trip to Runswick Bay. If you would like to book a stay at one of the Valley View Farm holiday cottages then you can book online by clicking on the link or alternatively book over the telephone on 01439 798221.

Yorkshire Attractions Included In Britains Best 50 Days Out
I have just read the Times Online feature on Britains Best 50 Days Out and am pleased to see that there are some Yorkshire attractions listed in their top 50.
At number 27 they feature Bridlington's Yorkshire Belle - "A voyage on Bridlington’s Yorkshire Belle is always a thrill, but you can get twice as many nautical miles for your money by studying the tide tables. A two-hour trip costs £6/£3, but if you time your visit to coincide with a full-moon tide, Cap’n Peter Richardson will take you all the way to Filey Bay — a 3½-hour round trip — for the same price."
At number 28 they feature the York Maze - "York Maze, made from 1.5m maize plants, is reputed to be the biggest on earth. The new design, opening on July 18, is a closely guarded secret, but the owner, Tom Pearcy, offers a clue: “It concerns an anniversary about which there is something of a buzz,” he says cryptically. A family ticket costs £28."
So why not make your base one of our North YorkshireHoliday Cottages as you check out the best that Yorkshire has to offer.
