Ripley Castle Activity Centre In Harrogate

At Ripley Castle, you'll find more than just stone walls and turrets. Here, the past comes alive with stories spanning over 700 years, making it a delightful start to your day. Once you've explored the castle's interiors, take a leisurely walk in the Deer Park. It’s a peaceful spot, and if you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of some deer roaming the grounds.

Then, it’s time to stretch your legs a bit more in the castle’s Gardens. It's an inviting place with a little bit of everything, from walled sections to ornamental lakes. And after all that walking, the castle's Tearoom offers the perfect spot to unwind with a cup of traditional English tea and perhaps a light meal or dessert.

A short walk away lies Ripley Village, a delightful spot that feels like it's been lifted straight out of a storybook. Charming buildings, a welcoming village green, and a mix of local shops and a pub create a lovely atmosphere. Don't forget to drop by the Ripley Ice Cream Shop for a sweet treat!

A brief drive will take you to Harrogate, where you can explore historical sites and unwind in places like the Turkish Baths or the famous Betty's Tea Room.

For those keen on blending history with natural beauty, the Studley Royal Water Garden and Fountains Abbey are not to be missed. And if you've got some extra time, perhaps venture out to the unique Brimham Rocks or dive deep into the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales. Perfect for our offsite adventures.
