Two miles from Kirkbymoorside, standing in complete isolation, in a steep wooded valley, is Kirkdale church, renovated in Saxon times.Upstream from the church, the stony river twists and turns and as the valley opens out the high outline of Roll Gate Bank, and the beginning of the moors appear in the distance. In the valley the road leads only to five small farms bounded by hilly woodland and bracken, with the heather always in sight. On one of these farms stands Sleightholmedale Lodge and Cottages. Further upstream the river straightens and Sleightholmedale becomes Bransdale, a National Trust property, another of the marvellous patterns of high country Dales which makes this part of Yorkshire unforgettable.Six charming self-catering holiday cottages have been made out of former model farm buildings at Sleightholmedale Lodge, a nineteenth century country house, in a little known and unspoilt area of beautiful countryside on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors. This conversion has been praised in ‘Country Living’ magazine, the ‘New York Times’ Travel Section, and other papers and magazines. |
Standing as it does, within the National Park boundary, Sleightholmedale provides the ideal base from which to explore the North Yorkshire Moors. You can visit York, the market town of Helmsley, nearby Rievaulx Abbey and coastal resorts such as Scarborough and Whitby. You can easily drive to Castle Howard or take a ride on the famous North Yorkshire Moors steam railway Or you can simply relax in peaceful surroundings, taking an occasional stroll around Sleightholmedale’s magnificent garden, perhaps walking down to the beck for a spot of fishing or hiking up onto the moors. Sleightholmedale Cottages are close by Sleightholmedale Lodge which was built in 1889 by Lord Feversham for his youngest daughter. It is still the family home and a working farm. The old farm buildings have been given a new lease of life as holiday cottages, converted in 1986.The cottages are under the personal supervision of the owner of Sleightholmedale Lodge, Mrs Rosanna James, helped by William and Janet Jeffrey. |
