Gable End Cottage is just a short ten minute walk away from the stunning Nidd Gorge. The woodland clings to a dramatic steep-sided valley. Its patchwork of habitats supports a wealth of wildlife and flora, and you’ll find relics of an intriguing history dating back to the Iron Age so perfect for romantic walks or dog walks.

Stroll through the ancient, broadleaved woodland and along the banks of the gently meandering river in the sheltered depths of the valley, or climb higher for stunning views towards the historic spa towns of Knaresborough and Harrogate. There are plenty of walks that start directly from Gable End Cottage. Or by following the river or through fields and pathways you can go further afield, enjoying the breath-taking Yorkshire countryside. This includes the Knaresborough Round, a route passing through the Nidd Gorge and a succession of villages to the north and east of historic Knaresborough. It can be divided into two stages or linked with the Harrogate Ringway to form a 36-mile route.

If you need to relax, you’ll also find a welcoming luxury wellness retreat in the village that offer amazing treatments. The Guy Fawkes Arms offers incredible food in a welcoming environment, and if you like crafts then there is a glass fusion studio that offers classes within the village and various craft workshops for children and adults offered in both Knaresborough and Ripley. With a playing field and children's play park adjacent to the property there really is something for everyone to enjoy all within a five-minute walk of the property.
