Kirkdale is a scenic and isolated wooded valley set between the Jurassic-era limestone ridges close to Kirkbymoorside on the very edge of the North York Moors National Park.
The Kirkdale woodland provides a haven for wildlife and it is a favourite with cyclists and walkers because of its peace and quiet and beautiful scenery.
The woods in spring and summer are filled with an ever changing floral carpet of primroses and violets intermingled with many other wild flowers.
Because of its unique and diverse flora and fauna, Kirkdale is classified as an area of Special Scientific Interest.
It really is well worth paying a visit for any holiday-makers staying at Rosella Cottage here in Rosedale Abbey. It's only about eight miles away by car or bicycle.
