We love to walk, to explore, and finding new trails and routes to get active and to really have a great day out is something we love to do.
If you like wildlife, nature and an adventure, we have a brilliant route for you: Londesborough Park, Yorkshire. Londesborough Park is a beautiful, scenic walk for all the family, with its wildlife, many choices of paths and places to run wild.

Where is it?
Londesborough Park is in Londesborough, East Yorkshire, England. The entrance to this walk is from the roadside of Intake Road, as there is parking there. However, no parking is permitted past the 1904 house.
How long did the walk take?
On our day out there, we spent 2 hours on an almost 2 ½ mile walk. During our walk, we walked through fields upon fields of cows, climbed around fallen trees and clambered over wooden gates.
What did you think and would you recommend it?
The walk wasn’t just about the fitness and the ‘staying healthy’ aspects, it was about spending time with each other and exploring, laughing and playing together.
I could almost describe it as, ‘disguised fitness’, because it was about keeping healthy whilst having fun together and getting to know each other better. And having a good laugh with your family is definitely a nice change from sitting with technology all day, getting annoyed by the slightest thing.
What did you find there?
On our walk, we came across a house, built in 1904 (it says so on the entrance). Also we found some old buildings and walls.
There were lots of trees and plants, so, if you’re interested in botany and/or dendrology, you will be in your element!
What are some things to do there?
Some amazing things to see and do at Londesborough Park are:
- The bodies of water there – A lake and some small streams. Don’t forget that with water comes wildlife! We found some dragonflies and tadpoles. Someone even found a frog!
- The old archways – although they are no longer in use, they still look magnificent, and are perfect for people wanting some great scenery!
- There are some tree stumps and old logs that can be climbed on, although some are decaying, so BE CAREFUL!
