What a fab event today for Skipton Car Show.

The High Street was packed with all kinds of cars. Loads of people milling about with plenty of food vans to keep everyone topped up.

Had to visit our friends at Cobble Kitchen for a coffee!

Pops was there showing his Standard 10. Lots of enthusiasts around, asking questions, taking photos and chatting all things cars.

Great to see the High Street bustling.

Did you get down today?

Always a fab day at Fountains Abbey & Studley Royal, National Trust

From walks to exploring the ruins to the awesome playground! What’s not to love.

We love taking a picnic and spending the day camped out on the grass by the Abbey.

The kids love exploring, running through, playing hide and seek and jumping off the stones.

When they’ve exhausted themselves there the playground under the trees is a welcome shady spot.

Cafe, shop and icecream, the perfect summers day out.

This short walk has a waterfall that’s great for the kids…. In fact this one has 4 waterfalls so you are in for a real treat.

It’s a bit of a tricky walk due to the narrow paths that have slightly deteriorated in place. So keep tight grip on hands! But it’s a fun one for negotiating change in level and different terrain for sure.

The walk starts in Buckden main car park. Head out of the gate as if you are walking up the Pike but immediately turn right and follow the wall around the back of the car park which will bring you to the beck. Then just follow it up stream.

Stick to the beck. There is another path that veers off to the left that takes you up to a higher ridge but this isn’t suitable for little kids (believe me).

If you do venture up to Buckden to do this it’s a fab short walk, a mile in total.

Or save this for the summer holidays for a picnic and paddle.

If you are after a jam packed adventure this summer then head to York!!

York has got to be one of the most child friendly cities ever! And if you have Harry Potter fans then even more so it needs to be top of your list.

In no particular order this is what we would recommend doing if you have a couple of days there;

💫 Wizard Walk of York - this is definitely going to be your fave! Hilarious from start to finish

🥾 Walk the City Walls and around the centre taking in the sights of The Shambles, along the river and all the independents

🧪 The Potions Cauldron potion class

⛪️ York Minster explore

🛝 Play in the park at Rowntree Park

🕵️ Follow the Little Vikings - York for kids I Spy trail

🌺 Explore York Castle Museum gardens

🚂 visit National Railway Museum and the Wonderlab

⛳️ Hole In Wand York crazy golf

🪏 Discover DIG - An Archaeological Adventure

🧩 The Puzzling World Of Professor Kettlestring

What’s your favourite thing to do in York city centre?

4.5 miles of pure rugged Yorkshire Dales landscape!

A great circular walk up on the tops. With little ones this would be a challenge due to the distance but if they don’t mind going in the carrier then you are sorted. In the height of summer you would be able to get an all terrain pram round but it would be bumpy.

Car parking, toilets and picnic benches but no other facilities here. Lots of cafes close by though in Hebden, Grassington and Stump Cross Caverns .

If you need the route details let me know.

On the outskirts of Newcastle, approx 1.5 hours North of Skipton is Gibside National Trust .

There is loads to do and see to keep you occupied for a full day.

During the summer they have the garden games on which was a huge set up over 2 fields when we last visited. From sack races, penalty shoot out, giant Jenga, bowling, pipes to puppet shows.

There is a great playground on site too.

As always with NT places there are old buildings to see, lots of open space to run around, formal gardens as well as miles of paths and track to walk and explore the grounds.

Looking for a short walk that keeps the kids entertained and has a cafe then I have you sorted!

Room on the Broom trail at Anglers Park in Wakefield is the perfect walk with kids.

2 mile circular around the lake, flat walk with good paths so also ideal for taking their bikes.

If your kids know the story of Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson then they will absolutely love this.

The sculptures and boards are stationed all the way round (you can’t miss them). It’s free to enter and parking is only £1 for 2 hours.

There’s a cafe and discovery centre at the start. The centre does free kids activities inside too. A playground is also located here.

The lake is a lovely walk round with some bird hides and views over the surrounding countryside.

Definitely one to add to your list!

Definitely due another visit back to RHS Garden Harlow Carr in Harrogate and it looks like they have some fab events on this year.

It’s always a great day out for all the family. The grounds are spectacular and so well looked after, it’s a marvel just walking around.

The kids love exploring and of course the THREE playgrounds are always a huge hit.

Betty’s tearoom or the pub for food will extend your day further than a peruse around the gift shop.

Not Yorkshire but still a good one to try!

The Keswick to Threkeld railway walk is 5km long and the ideal walk to do with kids.

You can walk, run or bike along it which we did all 3.

At the Keswick end you can park in the Leisure centre which is cheap parking or from Threkeld there is road side parking.

The route is tarmac so super easy and accessible with lots of features along the way. A long tunnel near Keswick, lots of bridges, mini tunnels, huts and at the midpoint there is an ice cream van usually set back on the road side.

All the way along there are information boards too that give you the history of the railway and how it was built, the change of use to the walk and then also environmental pointers.

Loads of benches for snack stops or to just sit and admire the view.

A fab walk!
