A 5-star Tourist Board rating and a David Bellamy Gold Award are indications enough that your stay at Old Hall Park will be nothing short of restful, stress-free and pleasant. The splendid park lies hidden away in the sleepy village of Langthorpe, an ideal 5-minute stroll from the pretty market town of Boroughbridge for accessing local amenities. Guests can easily access the site via the A1 and settle in for a quiet escape from the stress and schedules of modern life. The former Saxon farmstead does indeed have a claim to the term old, having been in this very spot for so long it is even mentioned Domesday Book. Today the updated site is a tranquil haven for guests passing by or looking for a spacious, well-equipped location to make a centre-point for adventures and explores. There are several exciting places to visit, including attractions like Abbey and Studley Royal Water Garden and the Newby Hall and Gardens. Countryside ramblers can follow heaps of well-marked trails snaking through Boroughbridge, including the fantastic Roman Ramble, which winds past a Roman site nearby. Anglers can blend walking with an afternoon of fishing along the riverside Roecliffe Ramble. Bring your catch or barbeque bits from town back to base, and fire up the grill for alfresco sizzles. Pets are most welcome.
