Adventure Activities

The home of adventure

Sometimes getting away from it all means doing something out of the ordinary and trying something new. In North Yorkshire, you’ll find new adventures and experiences in abundance. Visit the stunning Yorkshire Dales and explore the caves and ravines of a limestone gorge or tackle one of the only Via Ferrata courses in the country travelling along the cliff edge using only the iron foot and hand holds. Here in Nidderdale you can enjoy gorge walking or for the more daring, caving and abseiling. How about trying your hand at axe throwing near Selby or trekking with Alpacas near the Howardian Hills. Whatever adventure you decide to tackle, North Yorkshire is the perfect place to get rid of your stresses and have an exhilarating holiday.

Escape to the forest 

Located in the heart of the North York Moors National Park, Dalby Forest is the perfect place to enjoy an adventure. Here you can clamber through the forest canopy on a tree top challenge and zip through the treetops as gravity does the work.  With a choice of mountain bike trails graded green, blue and red, Dalby Forest has the right level of adventure for everyone, so bring the bike or hire one at the bike hub. For a slower pace enjoy a walk and keep your eyes peeled for unique sculptures dotted throughout the forest, as well as an abundance of internationally important wildlife species. Dalby Forest is also a designated Dark Sky Discovery Site, so stay late and experience the magic of seeing the Milky Way with the naked eye.
