SELF CATERING GRANARY COTTAGE The granary attached to the Barn has been converted to form a traditional self contained cottage, sleeping two with enviable views over Nidderdale and Gouthwaite Nature Reserve
Nidderdale
Designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Nidderdale - the valley or dale of the river Nidd, is 20 miles long from Ripley Castle to the river's source on the slopes of Great Whernside, very unspoilt and is smaller than neighboring Wensleydale and Wharfedale.
Covill Barn overlooks a Nature Reserve at Ramsgill near Pateley Bridge. An ideal base for walking, birdwatching and sight seeing.
Walking
Good walking starts directly from Covill Barn including the Nidderdale Way and a numerous variety of uncrowded footpaths and bridle paths across Nidderdale from the valley to the moors.
• Packed lunches are available if booked the day before.
Cycling
Mountain biking is extremely popular with bridle paths linking up to other dales crossing the moors.
• Safe cycle storage is available free of charge.
Birdwatching
Gouthwaite Nature Reserve can be viewed from your accommodation or you can walk around its boundary or use one of the hides provided. There is also a good variety of birds of prey to be seen soaring over the dale.
Sightseeing
Harrogate is 20 miles away with its colourful floral gardens. It is 15 miles to the cathedral city of Ripon and 30 miles to York with its wealth of attractions.
Locally, you can visit the World Heritage site of fountains Abbey, Newby Hall, Skipton, Grassington, Stumps Cross Caverns, Brimham Rocks and How Stean Gorge.
There are lots of local restaurants and pubs within a short drive.
