Are you keen to give glamping a go? Glamping (camping's more glamorous cousin) is becoming more and more popular in the UK, allowing holidaymakers to enjoy a peaceful countryside escape, but with more luxurious home comforts than a tent!

So, if a glamping holiday in Yorkshire is on your travel bucket list, allow us to introduce you to the glorious world of glamping at High Oaks Grange...

The magnificient Castle Howard is one of the many attractions close to High Oaks Grange. That's why we we're thrilled to hear that Countryfile Live is being held there this year!

Thornton le Dale is regarded by many people as the prettiest village in the National Park, and while its obvious charms make it popular with visitors, it’s also full of historic interest. This 2-mile circular walk follows riverside field paths to the hamlet of Ellerburn and its ancient church, before returning along a minor road to Thornton le Dale. It's an enjoyable stroll at any time of year, but spring and autumn in particular show the wooded riverside at its best.

After spending time at High Oaks Grange, we hope that you will agree that the North York Moors has some of the most beautiful landscapes in the UK. Here are just a few other facts you may not already know about your holiday destination.

The North York Moors National Park is one of the best places in the country to see stars and incredible night skies because of the low light pollution levels and clear horizons. From a town or city you'll be lucky to spot more than a handful of stars, but from our darkest spots in the North York Moors you may be able to spy up to 2,000 at any one time.

Enjoy a classic spring walk in the so-called ‘Daffodil Dale’ to see Farndale’s glorious wild daffodils. It’s a straightforward 3½-mile linear route alongside the enchanting River Dove, from Low Mill to Church Houses and back, though there is an alternative return route that climbs through farm fields for some lovely valley views. Depending on the weather, the daffodils are usually out between mid-March and mid-April, but this is a charming walk at any time of year.
