We love dogs at High Oaks Grange, so that's why nine of our twelve self-catering properties dog-friendly. Many of our guests have loved bringing their four-legged friends on holiday with them, especially because we have plenty of dog-friendly eateries and attractions in the local area. Read on for some of our favourites!

 
Dog-Friendly Attractions

We're lucky to have the North York Moors National Park quite literally on our doorstep, meaning there is a huge amount of scenic countryside for you and your dogs to explore. We're also very close to Dalby Forest, whose long, meandering trails can provide endless exercise for even the most energetic of pups. Exploring through the delightful moorland nature reserve of Fen Bog is another fresh-air activity for humans and dogs alike. 

If you enjoy a dog-friendly day out with a historical twist, we highly recommend a visit to Pickering Castle. Used throughout the centuries as a royal hunting lodge, holiday home, and stud farm by a succession of medieval kings, it's a must-see attraction in the local area. And why not pay a visit to Eden Camp History Museum? Housed in the buildings and grounds of an original WWII Prisoner of War Camp, a visit to this unique museum will transport you back to wartime Britain.

We're also well-situated for some days out to the Yorkshire coast. In just 30 minutes, you can drive to the popular seaside towns of Whitby, Robin Hood's Bay, Filey and Scarborough, for some fresh air and blasts down the beach! And did you know? The North Bay Beach in Scarborough is a Blue Flag beach, meaning it is one of the best in Europe for the cleanliness of the sand and water, facilities and safety! Filey is a lovely beach for the family to explore, having been named in the top 6 beaches in the world for families! A sculpture trail surrounds the bay, and there are fascinating rock pools in abundance.

Does your holiday involve children and animals? It's easy to keep little ones entertained at Flamingo Land Resort; a popular family funpark with an extensive zoo and 100s of attractions. And when it's time to calm everybody down, we recommend a trip to Wolds Way Lavender. It's a joy to stroll through the fields of this unique lavender farm, which also features a distillery, tearoom, shop, and a miniature railway!

It's likely that all this exploring will work up an appetite, which means you'll be needing some...
