“Stayed st Squirrel Lodge, Gargrave, for the second year.”
What amazing accommodation, everything you need is provided. We are Grandparents with a grandson aged 9 and granddaughter aged 6. Squirrel Lodge was perfect. There is so much around the area for them to do. Aireville Park in Skipton has a brilliant skate park for scooters and bikes. It has a brand new play area and a tree top adventure. The swimming pool is in the Sports Centre within the park. You can easily walk into Skipton through the park and on the tow path. If it is raining why not try ten pin bowling, the Plaza Cinema, the Play Gym or Coffee and Clay in Skipton. We visited Skipton Castle and did the Castle Woods walk as Nature Detectives. The Welly Walk at Bolton Abbey from the stepping stones to the Strid is a must, with all the obstacles along the way, we spent a couple of hours with them playing on the ship and in the sand at the Strid end. The day ended with paddling back at the stepping stones. Why not try a day by the side of the River st Burnsall, its a fabulous day out. A bucket, a fishing net [yes we did catch fish], and a small dinghy were all we needed, but there is so much space there you can also fly kites, play football and swing ball. This year we did the National Trust Bush Trek at Malham. What a fabulous afternoon we had with the Rangers. We had a lovely walk, ate plants, did den building, toasted marshmallows and played games. In the past we have visited local farms and also dined at Billy Bobs Ice Cream Parlour. They had great fun on the swing ropes in the hay barn. I have already booked for next year and the children can’t wait.
