Guided Walks in North Yorkshire – July & August 2009.


There is nothing better than exploring the finer points of North Yorkshire with an expert. Various organisations throughout North Yorkshire offer short guided walks during the summer to look at wildlife, rock formations or the stunning countryside. As we don’t want our guests to Flamborough Rigg Cottage to miss out on these opportunities we have compiled a list so you can pick out those that appeal to you.
