Spring at the White Swan Inn

The noted White Swan Inn, nestling in the centre of the bustling market town of Pickering has shaken off the mantle of winter and is looking forward to the coming spring and summer months with a great programme of outdoor activities.

Take a look at some of the choices on offer in the area; picnics can be provided with prior notice:

Walking: 2 easy walks of 3 miles each: Farndale’s beautiful and relaxing Daffodil Walk and one to the magnificent geological curiosities called the Bridestones, or additionally a more strenuous 12 mile route to historic Levisham and another of 14 miles to Robin Hood’s Bay for the truly fit.

Mountain Biking: Several spectacular biking trails are on offer at the nearby Dalby Forest or how about a Bike and Train combination on the North Yorks Moors Railway, with just a gentle pedal back to The White Swan for a relaxing soak before dinner?

Flying: Gliding is available at the Yorkshire Gliding Club at Sutton Bank, 25 minutes’ drive away or you could try Microlighting, Skydiving, Parachuting and Paragliding nearby for those who dare!

Golf: With no fewer than 6 championship courses in the county, and over 25 different courses in the surrounding district, golfers staying at The White Swan are truly spoilt for choice

Horse Racing: Trips to morning gallops or stable viewings at local trainers can be arranged on request or why not let The White Swan Inn pack up a special champagne picnic hamper for your party for a day at the races at one of the 9 racetracks in the county? Also check out the website (www.white-swan.co.uk) for details of any Special Packages for one of the regular and popular race meetings throughout the summer.

Whatever your choice of activity, the best part is returning to The White Swan Inn at the close of an enjoyable day with a fabulous evening still to come: first, a luxuriously long, hot bath or shower, then a relaxing aperitif before a delicious dinner and finally, the ultimate – settle back into your super-comfortable bed to sleep as though dead before waking up to a new day and a wonderful breakfast.
