Ripon Walled Garden — Attraction in North Stainley with Sleningford

The Ripon Walled Garden was a small piece of paradise when we visited during the Easter school break. There is a free car park by the entrance and once inside you are greeted by a small shop with refreshments and locally produced jams and chutneys. There is outdoor seating and a great play area for younger children. The gardens, woodland walk and orchard are flat with paved paths where possible.

We will definitely be return visitors and are looking forward to their new cafe that is planned for later...

Next time. Oh yes, all staff friendly, efficient and all know...
