The early spring holidays of the Easter week end at Crag House Farm on the North York Moors saw all weathers from warm sunny mornings, hail, rain and wind, wind, wind. So windy indeed that we lowered the Yorkshire flag and flew the children instead. Much more fun!
-
Excitingly wild and windy! On the moor above Crag House Farm between Danby Dale and Westerdale
Treasure hunts in the garden involved quite a lot of chocolate of course!
-
Enjoying hunting for the eggs and one little person devouring them!
But why restrict a treasure hunt to your garden when Crag House Farm is surrounded by some of the most exciting countryside in Britain.
Within a short walk you can be here, clambering over a stone stile

and making your way to the wood next to St Hilda’s church in the middle of Danby Dale

Happy children outside in the fresh air
The kind of treasures found here are priceless.

Paddling with your wellies on. Mum takes a snap and this is what family memories are made of.
Whatever your age I guarantee a bluebell wood with a stream in the middle of a Dale is a winner..
So I’ve got another one for you…This one comes with an Award winning tea room and cafe, a water fall, fabulous play area and natural adventure park for all ages. We highly recommend Falling Foss Tea Garden.

Falling Foss tea room. Fabulous setting - adventure playground for all
This really is a fun place to visit. After parking in a wooded car park you walk the last 1/4 mile down to the pretty cottage through trees and flowers and the sound of the waterfall gently increases then you see it

When you have done enough walking and you’re ready for a coffee and maybe a slice of cake remember you are in the Capital of Cake now, make your way to the delightful Midge Hall, their food is delicious!

This was great fun for kids and a relaxing time for us grown ups enjoying tea, soup and cake in the garden.
While we grown ups got excited about big bacon baps and lashings of tea the bigger kids were off exploring and making new friends, building dens, crossing rivers and ravines and having the sort of adventures they usually can only read about. Think Swallows and Amazons. Famous Five and Secret Seven.

This was a perfect day for us all

Falling Foss tea rooms offer you all sorts of excitement and experiences
