6 Rosedale Abbey
Pickering, Y018 8RA
North Yorkshire, UK
Yesterday, we had a family day out to magnificent Rivaulx Abbey; which was just spectacular - as usual.
The Abbey at Rivaulx is an English Heritage property and the entry for a family of four is £20.
But yesterday, I discovered that English Heritage offer a "holiday" deal which prvides nine-days of unlimited entry to thier sites across England for a family of four for only £50.
Rievaulx Abbey is Just One of the English Heritage Sites Close to Rosedale.
This 9-day family pass is absolutely ideal for anyone having a week or fortnight's holiday on the North York Moors.
For example, within 40-50 kms of Rosella Cottage here in Rosedale Abbey - in the heart of the Moors - you can visit around 20 English Heritage sites.
And they span the period from the Stone Age to the Romans; and from the Medieval to the Georgian's.
Best of all, entry to all of the following English Heritage sites is free once the £50 nine-day pass is purchased:
+ Whitby Abbey;
+ Scarborough Castle;
+ Pickering Castle;
+ Helmsley Castle;
+ Guisborough Priory;
+ Byland Abbey;
+ Marmion Tower;
+ Richmond Castle;
+ Aldborough Roman Site;
+ Wheeldale Roman Road;
+ Burton Agnes Manor House;
+ Wharram Percy Desserted Village;
+ Clifford's Tower (York);
+ Micklegate Bar Museum (York);
+ Mount Grace Priory; and
+ Stanwick Iron Age Fortifications.
This 9-day pass from English Heritage could save family groups holidaying on the North York Moors a great deal if they plan to visit even 2-3 properties during their vacation.
I reckon it's a cracker!
