What fabulous days we have had with blue sky, golden light and a brisk nip in the air. Great days for walking and enjoying the countryside. We trained for our recent trek in Peru by walking up and down steep slopes in the area. It has been a revelation to find how attractive the walks have been and sometimes, how exhausting we could make them. We love walking round Rosedale, especially if we can have a look in at the glass-blowing in the village - Gillies Jones - and later have tea and cake at Farmhouse Fodder at the top of the Dale. We have found steep enough challenges at Sutton Bank and the Hole of Horcum, all having great views and rewarding natural history. Despite our efforts up and down Rosedale's Chimney Bank, nothing really prepared us for trekking for day after day up and down Inca Trails until finally reaching the last stronghold of the Inca before being killed off by the Spanish. A great experience in all. Check the photo gallery for the pictures but it could be a week or two before they are ready.
You may like also to take a walk in the countryside or do your Christmas shopping in comfort from one of Noelle's Cottages. Write your Christmas cards or have a pre-Christmas get together. Scones and cream and nearer Christmas, mince pies and mulled wine and a warm welcome await your arrival to your 'home from home' experience with log fire and luxury beds and furnishings. We can point you to one of the many great food outlets and restaurants or suggest where to go for a wide variety of excellent shops.
