Set in 200 acres of Yorkshire parkland, Swinton Park is an impressive stately castle around ten miles north of Ripon.
On your bike - exploring beautiful Yorkshire
Swinton Park is nestled between some of England's finest countryside with the Yorkshire Dales to the west and the North York Moors to the east.
Have a cup of tea in Harrogate
The elegant town of Harrogate is also well worth a visit, with some classy shopping plus the Yorkshire institution of Betty's Cafe Tea Rooms. Traditionally a spa town, for something different you could visit Harrogate's Turkish Baths & Health Spa, which have been beautifully restored with the original Victorian tiles.
