Goldsborough Hall to Ribston Hall: This walk starts from our sister property Goldsborough Hall and heads west through the village towards the Knaresborough Round.

Knaresborough River Walk: Only a couple of miles from the Bay Horse is the historic town of Knaresborough. Take a riverside walk along the River Nidd, from 12-century Knaresborough Castle to the nearby Conyngham Hall. From the castle you have the most amazing view over the river and its viaduct. Head down from the castle and along the riverwalk, crossing over the road at the end to get to Conyngham Hall. Plan your route here.

Plumpton Rocks: Queen Mary described these rocks as ‘heaven on earth’. Situated just over four miles away, these beautiful 30 acre gardens in delightful for an afternoon walk. Follow narrow paths through the dramatic rocks before a short climb to a lovely viewpoint overlooking the lake. Plumpton is not always open so please check here before travelling.
