Great British Walk Festival

Sunday 1st September 2013 marks the start of the Great British Walks Festival, organized by the National Trust.

And we certainly have more than our fair share of super walks around Rosedale Abbey in the North York Moors.

Walk To Rosedale Pub

We Love a Walk in Rosedale During Our Own Vacations.

But a poll has revealed that 25 per cent of the British public walk less than five miles a month.

And 60 percent of the 1,000 people who participated in the survey said thet never venture more than 500 metres from their car.

Quite simply, we think that's a bit sad; and it's no wonder so many people are getting so fat these days.

For us, there is nothing to beat celebrating the outdoors around Rosedale and discovering new places on foot in the fresh air.

Walking and discovering somewhere new is just such a pleasure.

And the changing seasons on the North York Moors mean that even favourite walks always have something different about them depending on the weather.

Our guests seem to agree; with the comments book at Rosella Cottage oftain containing quotes regarding the lovely walks people have taken during their holiday visits.
