Yorkshire is cycling hotspot

Posted: 08/09/2019

The world's best cyclists are coming to this part of the world later this month to take part in the UCI World Championships - the UK's biggest sporting event of 2019.

The nearby market town of Richmond is hosting the Junior Men's Race on Thursday 26 September with riders setting off from the Market Place and travelling through Catterick, Leyburn and Aysgarth for a finish in Harrogate.

Then, on Sunday 29 September, the Men's Elite Road Race weaves its way through Aysgarth, Hawes, Buttertubs Pass, Gunnerside, Grinton (a stone's throw from The Old Vicarage), Leyburn, Middleham and West Witton.

Having already hosted the Tour de France and the Tour de Yorkshire, this latest race really cements the area's reputation of having some of the best cycle routes in the UK. 

New Faces in our Highland Cattle Fold

Say hello to Oskar and Alice, two of our latest calves. You can meet the rest of the Marrick Park Fold of Highland cattle during your stay and we are always happy to make personal introductions! 

The friendly Highlands are a great hit with our guests, and the children in particular like to help with their grooming or just watch them up close.
