North York Moors and Coast - Ref 738

Nestled in the beautiful and peaceful Esk Valley in the heart of The North York Moors, the little village of Danby has a lot to offer With two pubs – both of which serve food - a bakery and a tea-room, this quaint little settlement is well served by local amenities Nearby is the excellent National Park Visitor Centre at Danby Lodge, a historic building set within 13 acres of riverside pasture The lodge also provides facilities for local exhibitions, nature trails and tea rooms In addition there are also the ruins of a 14th Century castle and one of the only working water-mills on the River Esk Running through the village on its way to Whitby is the Esk Valley Railway, whilst nearby the villages of Hutton-le-Hole and Lastingham, as well as the market town of Pickering, offer a variety of amenities not available in Danby itself This attractive stone built cottage is situated in a quiet, position within the rural Moors village of Danby The cottage has been created by skilfully converting an old farm building that is attached to the owner’s 17th Century farmhouse Outside there is a south-facing cobbled courtyard with garden furniture - ideal for relaxing in the sunshine or enjoying a summer picnic This is an excellent retreat away from the hustle-and-bustle of modern life .
