Osmotherley

We’ve lost count of how many times we’ve visited Osmotherley over the years. Tucked away on the western edge of the North York Moors, it’s the kind of village that quietly wins you over and keeps pulling you back.

Worth the trip!

The Coffee Shop , Osmotherley

I can’t get my partner out of here, it’s his favourite place to visit whenever we’re nearby. From excellent coffee & homemade cake to avocado on toast with poached eggs and bacon, this place never disappoints. There’s also a resident spaniel, who’ll happily welcome you through the door (just don’t feed him).

Dog friendly, perfect for walkers and cyclists

Worth the effort, stunning views for miles. Helvellyn is the third-highest mountain in both England, standing at 950 meters (3,116 feet). Located between the lakes of Thirlmere and Ullswater. There are many ways to summit this mountain, but only a couple in the dark.

Wafu No Yado Masuya is a traditional ryokan that delivers authentic Japan without luxury Tokyo prices. The location is excellent, the Japanese Kaiseki dinner is genuinely memorable, and access to Sahib Onsen’s historic bath houses makes the whole experience feel very special.

A social media sensation that didn’t live up to the hype. Long queues, expensive sandwiches and an experience that left us feeling regretful. This is not worth your time or money, there are much better options locally.
