Here are some of my favourite places . . .

 If you want somewhere interesting to take the kids, have a look at Brimham rocks in Harrogate.

Are you in Arizona or Yorkshire?

Take your cowboy outfit.

Situated in upper Nidderdale yorkshire. the river Nidd, has carved out this deep gorge, a small entry fee is charged but it is worth it to explore the gorge.

Warning!

The Stridd is dangerous for kids and animals - or adults for that matter.

Ignore signs at your peril.

Even so Bolton Abbey and the Stridd woods are beautiful, and well worth a visit.

In Derbyshire near Castleton, in the peak district.

Lots of interesting things to do here, with caves castles lead mines  etc, to explore.

Good food in Castleton pubs will be added to my good food link later.

Near Clitheroe, Lancashire. 

A place of history, and mystery. Climb the heights of Pendle hill for the best views in Lancashire.

A superb area for walkers, with some good eating houses around the area, (see my favourites in places to eat). Look out for the witches, find the treacle mines. look at this website.
