This is my favourite walk/ pub. Go up Sutton Bank or Boltby for a very scenic walk on the Moors, the stop by the Carpenters for a meal or sandwich. It’s 20 mins drive.

Fabulous walking around the park. You don’t need to pay £18 per head to enjoy the surroundings. But if you want to see the Abbey then you will have to pay!
