Ryedale Folk Museum — Attraction in Hutton-le-Hole

Fabulous open air museum situated a pleasant tranquil village in the North Yorkshire Moors National Park. The museum has a range of buildings from different periods of history and these buildings range from basic cottages and Manor houses to Roundhouses, a Chemist, Grocery Shop from the 1950s, Blacksmiths, Coopers, Tinmakers and a Cobblers. You can go in all of the buildings and get an idea of what life and work from those periods of history and is done in a very clear way making it all the more interesting and insightful. There are some informative interesting information boards dotted around the site detailing about the buildings and the best part of the buildings is the fact they have been dismantled from other villages locally and put back in their original state which is fantastic work and attention to detail. Visitors can also wander an interesting wedding exhibition detailing some of the weddings of the local people in the area over the years and there is some interesting agricultural machinery to see on the site along with an apple orchard, which is also good. There is a small gift shop on the site with a nice selection of gifts at reasonable prices. Overall a delightful and insightful day out learning about the lives of...

A super folk museum and well worth a visit for all ages and well worth 5 stars. Set out with a range of historic buildings which were rescued from around the area all open to explore. Old and young alike enjoyed taking selfies and dressing up for the part while exploring. As well as the static displays there were a number of animals which could be fed and a couple of the houses had interpreters. Lots of information boards around so was very educational which took some of us oldies back to times past. Plenty of space for the children to run around and lots of places to picnic. Our dog (on a lead) was very welcome and there's plenty of water available. On site there are M/F and disabled toilets and a small shop. There's no cafe but at the time of our visit (April 2019) there's 10% discount in the village cafe's (all excellent) on production of your ticket. Admission was £8.00 for adults and the ticket gives entry for a year. There's plenty of parking ether in the National Parks car park 2 mins away or in the Crown Public house car park next to the site - both have parking meters coins only. Looking forward to...

What a great museum, caters for all ages, apart from how informative it was and how well set up, I was really impressed by how friendly the staff are, informative and welcoming, they are a credit to the museum however from my perspective, I was trying to find a birthday outing for my Dad aged 82 and not great with mobility and to find they have aids as in mobility scooters to help the less able enjoy the full experience really made it a special day for him to reminisce and tell me stories I'd never heard before about his childhood and growing up. The day we went started of very dismal and rainy so we were able to go for a coffee after looking at sine exhibits and then go back when it faired up to finish the tour and we were given another drier scooter to continue which I thought was such a lovely thoughtful touch. We can also go back within a year on the same ticket as many times as we like which is amazing for the price. I highly recommend a visit and even if you don't go back it is definitely worth the money for...
