Overview
Monk Park, once a haven for monks who made their living from the land, is now a favourite for children. There is something for all ages to see and do on the farm, with a variety of animals from guinea pigs and alpacas to goats and donkeys. There are indoor and outdoor viewing and feeding areas – and the all-important adventure playground too.

About the area
North Yorkshire, with its two National Parks and two designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is England’s largest county and one of the most rural. This is prime walking country, from the heather-clad heights of the North York Moors to the limestone country that is so typical of the Yorkshire Dales – a place of contrasts and discoveries, of history and legend.
