The Area
 


This page tells you about the area surrounding Little Edstone, places to visit, hobbies and interests that the area provides for, plus some suggested places for eating out.

Little Edstone organic farm and self-catering cottages is a unique location for a combined sea and country holiday. The beautiful North Yorkshire Moors are a delight to explore either on foot or by car, or alternatively, the steam railway runs along stunning scenery through many unspoilt villages including Goathland ('Aidensfield' in the television series Heartbeat).

Castle Howard is within easy driving distance, the coast is easily accessible and the popular seaside resorts of Scarborough and Whitby are delights not to be missed.

The quaint cobbled streets of Robin Hood's Bay, once a favourite haunt with smugglers, will keep children and adults entertained for hours with its shoreline full of strange and colourful pebbles.

Flamingo Land Zoo (a popular theme park) is well worth the visit.

The market town of Helmsley is 6 miles distant and has shops and inns as well as pretty walled gardens.

Many National Trust properties can be found within a 15 mile radius, including Nunnington Hall, Byland Abbey and Duncomb Park to name but a few. The ancient city York is but a 45-minute drive (27 miles).

Excellent walking can be found from the doorstep or after a 5 minute drive on toThe Moors. All the cottages combine country living, yet are close enough to the coast to keep any visitor happy, whatever type of holiday they may be looking for. Little Edstone Farm is the perfect place in which to relax and unwind - whatever time of year.
