We are located about 5 miles west from Masham, a picturesque Wensleydale market town, and 8 miles north of Ripon. We are also close to the villages of Fearby, Ilton, and Healey, which are only a short drive or half hour walk away.

Our location is also convenient to the A1, about a 30 minutes drive away.
