Yorkshire Dales

[CathyCy]

Any ideas for days out in the Yorkshire Dales near Grassington with a 3 year old and a baby please?x

If it's a nice day, I reckon you can do no better than Burnsall and Appletreewick - there is a lovely, short, child-friendly riverside walk between the two that offers plenty of paddling opportunities! Couple of nice pubs in Appletreewick for lunch, cafés and a nice pub (where I once saw Patrick Stewart in hiking gear, but I can't guarantee that for you ) in Burnsall.

Billy Bob's Ice Cream Palour is quite good! An American diner with plenty of space for kids outside and a soft play.

Billy Bob's can be absolutely heaving on a nice day, it's unbearable. Bolton Abbey is nice, has some stepping stones to play on and a cafe

The cheese factory at Hawes is our favourite thing to do whilst in the dalesand all ages enjoy it. There is a little museum where you can find out about how to make cheese and the best but is the cheese tasting area. We always leave with huge quantities of cheese.

Bolton Abbey with Embsay steam train, Brimham Rocks, Aysgarth Falls, Kettlewell, Malham Cove, Hawes, Pickering.

Possibly in that order.

Hesketh farm park near Bolton abbey is good too.
