Activities Near Red House
Walking and sight-seeing are the most popular activities in our area, and we have a comprehensive collection of walks you are welcome to borrow while you are here. We are happy to arrange or provide contact numbers for fishing, riding or mountain bike hire. If you wish to fish for salmon or sea trout, it is wise to book in advance during the autumn. Although there are sections of the river open to the public, these tend to get heavily used when the salmon are running.
We even have regular yoga and metafit classes in Glaisdale. Or take a ride on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway from Grosmont to Pickering. With its magnificent steam engines and beautiful rural stations, it´s like taking a step back in time--a holiday you won´t forget!
You are within a short driving distance of Goathland (Aidensfield of "Heartbeat" TV series), the coast (Whitby, Robin Hood's Bay, Ravenscar, Staithes), Helmsley, Riveaulx Abbey and many other very interesting places.
Visit picturesque Whitby. From the old town of Whitby, 199 steps lead up to the parish church of St. Mary. The churchyard gave Bram Stoker the inspiration to write his world famous book, Dracula. Whitby is part of the Heritage Coast of North East England.

Nevertheless, it's still best to have a look before you arrive, because if you can book ahead, it's best to do so before you come to us to avoid disappointment. Click to read each Guide.
