Hi Everyone,
Today we visited Brimham Rocks National Trust in Harrogate. This is definitely the place to go for adventure lovers and kids who love to climb. Our youngest especially, was in her absolute element here.
As the name suggests this site is filled to the brim with rocks of all different sizes and shapes making some absolutely wonderful structures and most importantly perfect for climbing opportunities. With the varying sizes and shapes there is a definetly a rock that can be climbed by everyone. We really loved that there were, toddlers through to teens and of course adults all having a go and enjoying this outdoor adventure.
Our youngest who is 8 loves to climb anything and everything so attempted pretty much every rock we came across (within reason).
From the various vantage points you can see some amazing views of the country side and lots of farm animals to spot too.
If you don't want to climb the rocks you can just follow the trails rounds and admire the scenery we saw lots of dogs walkers doing exactly that.
The site is free to enter but parking in the large onsite car park is chargeable unless you are national trust members. The toilet facilities and kiosk were open and there was a lovely ice cream at the entrance. This was the busiest site we have visited since lockdown but as its so vast there are plenty of routes you can take to get away from any busier spots. We would definitely recommend going earlier in the day so you can make the most of it being quieter and if you fully explore the site we would say you'd need at least 4 hours.

Hi Everyone,
We recently visited the wonderful Cragside National Trust in Morpeth. Cragside is a absolutely enormous site with so much to do. You can easily spend a full day exploring.
On arrival after visiting the visitor centre and facilities we choose to do a trail that led us over the iron bridge allowing us to have wonderful views of the rivers and the main house. The trail then winds it way through the forest and passes by the old power house. We once spotted a deer while on this route.
After exploring the forest we headed back to the house to enjoy a picnic outside. The house is set on top of a hill so the views of the surrounding vistas are wonderful. The house itself is currently closed but even just being outside is a lovely experience.
Next we headed back to our car and drove to the labyrinth, you can walk the full route but as we've said Cragside is huge so a lovely scenic drive was a good option for us. Our kids love the labyrinth wich is set on the forest with wooden statues and tree house you can easily spend a few hours getting lost on. This is our children's favourite part of Cragside.
After this we visited the adjacent lake. The lakes are beautiful at Cragside, surrounding by heather with a very mountain feel to them. There are lots of paths to walk around with plenty of seating to fully enjoy the views.
Throughout the site there are toilet facilities, cafés and kiosks and plenty of seating areas. This review only contains a small snippet of what Cragside has to offer so we do recommend you check out their Web page to see more. Cragside is chargeable but free to National Trust members. We couldn't be without our membership so feel free to check the below link out about how to get yours.
