Places to visit during your stay at Lund Farm Holiday Cottages

York

Lund Farm is conveniently placed for the historic city of YORK, with its beautiful Norman Minster and city walls, archeological evidence of its Viking origins, museums (including the National Railway Museum), river trips, narrow streets such as The Shambles and “ghost walks”. Even the tea-shops in York are world-famous!

Selby

SELBY, our local town, also has a wonderful Norman Abbey with links to the Washington family, a large traditional Monday street market, and excellent rail links all over the country (London two and a half hours). There are nature reserves for bird-lovers not far away at Blacktoft sands and Fairburn Ings, and Stately homes at Harewood, Lotherton Hall, Temple Newsam and Brodsworth Hall. 

Leeds

To the west of Selby is LEEDS, a thriving modern city with a world class shopping centre including top stores such as Harvey Nichols.  Other places of interest in Leeds include The Royal Armouries, The Henry Moore Foundation and Tropical World.

North Yorkshire

From the very centre of Yorkshire the choice of day-drives is endless. Dozens of beautiful stately homes (Castle Howard), ancient castles and ruined abbeys (Fountains), a huge variety of scenery from rich lowlands to the Yorkshire Dales of Herriot and the lonely North York Moors.

There are seaside resorts from Captain Cook’s Whitby to Scarborough and Bridlington, children’s animal farms, the Eureka! children’s museum and the steam railways of “Railway Children and “Heartbeat” fame. Don’t forget the spa town of Harrogate and the thriving modern city of Leeds. 

Around the Farm

But you don’t have to drive far.. You can simply stay on the farm to relax, help us with the sheep perhaps, walk the canal bank adjoining the farm, or we can direct you to local pubs, tea-shops or woodland walks.
