| Name | Location | Type Of Activity | Description |
| The Grainary | Nr Scarborough 21 miles | Wildlife Animal Farm | This is not just farm animal, although it does have highland cattle and ponies. There are six walks of varying length and one hard surface walk for wheelchair access that allows for touch senses. Along each walk there is a variety of wildlife to see and some, such as the barn owls, to meet around the farm. More information can be found on www.grainary.co.uk |
| The York Dungeon | York 19 miles | Gruesome History | Constantly changing the York Dungeon is a very good attraction. Gory torture chambers and ghoulish ghostly images cleverly done with excellent personal translations by appropriately dressed guides in some sections as you journey through the dungeon. See www.thedungeons.com |
| Monk Park Farm | Bagby 26 miles | Animals & Fun | Ponies to ride, animals to feed, a massive sand pit, loads of picnic tables, an adventure park with a hillside slide to fit three sitting side-by-side and a host of other things. This looks a fun packed day. See www.monkpark.co.uk for more information. |

There is a feeding stage, an otter sanctuary, a touch pool, a penguin sanctuary, a seal pool, an ocean tunnel, a place where you can pan for gold, a soft play area, a gift shop and a cafe.

| Mountain Biking | Langdale 22 miles | Biking | For bookings, hire and trails see Quad Bike website above. |
| Scarborough Bowls Centre | Scarborough 19 miles | Bowls | Eight indoor rinks and two outdoor crown greens. I can’t figure out how this attraction keeps going – but the brochure says “Free Entrance, Free Coaching, Free Equipment Hire”. Hey, it must be worth a visit. They also have a bar that serves meals (I think you have to pay for these) and some pool tables. For more information see www.scarboroughbowlscentre.co.uk |

| Flamingo Land | Kirby Misperton 5 miles | Theme Park& Zoo | Rides are being updated annually, there is always something new and more daring. It is expensive to get in but it is all free once you are inside. Food is also quite expensive so a packed lunch would be advisable. I do not know how good the zoo is but my son returns to the theme park regularly. |
| Seaside | Scarborough 19m Filey 20m Bridlington 24m | Beaches | Each of these has a good sandy beach. Scarborough also has a funfair and miles of sea-front arcades. Parking can be difficult at Scarborough but the train and bus service is good. Previous guests have been to Filey and Bridlington and recommend a visit to both. |
