Add your business details- Peaceful site on a family-run working farm in rural North Yorkshire
- A 20-minute drive from Harrogate and Yorkshire Dales National Park
- Scenic views of the Arthington viaduct and River Wharfe
Pack your camera, your notebooks, your fishing kit, your walking boots – North Yorkshire’s Greengates Farm is a great spot for those seeking scenic and serene surrounds in which to spend some hobby time.
Central to the attraction for photographers and trainspotters is the setting right by the Arthington viaduct, a handsome structure with 21 arches. It’s tipped as being particularly fine for snapping sunrise pics, so by staying on site you’ll have the best chance of catching it at its prettiest (if the peaceful vibe here doesn’t entice you to slumber through, that is...).
By day, trains trundle across the viaduct to and from Leeds (12 miles away) and Harrogate (seven miles); once you’ve viewed them from afar, you can board one from Weeton station, a 25-minute walk away. If you'd rather roam under your own steam, there are plenty of walking and bike trails around the farm and in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. And if you’d rather not roam at all, amble down to the banks of the River Wharfe for a quiet day by the water (don’t forget to bring or buy a licence to keep things legal).

Local attractions
Rural rambles are top notch around these parts: the Yorkshire Dales National Park is a 20-minute drive away and has many a mile of trail to tramp along. If you’ve got a taste for farming life, make new furry pals at Donkey Sanctuary Leeds (15 minutes’ drive) or take a walk alongside woolly beasts on a trek from Nidderdale Llamas (half an hour).
This part of the country is stacked full of day trip options too: historyheads and photographers will want to take a stroll around the ruins of Spofforth Castle (15 minutes' drive), while engine enthusiasts should plan a ride on the narrow-gauge Shipley Glen Tramway at the UNESCO-listed Victorian model village of Saltaire (half an hour). Harewood House (15 minutes) is another excellent visit with heaps to do including an exotic bird park, boat rides, an adventure playground and stunning gardens (designed by Capability Brown, no less).
For urban days, drive to Leeds (half an hour) for art galleries, cultural events and a vast array of shops, or head to Harrogate (20 minutes) for the Royal Pump Room Museum and smart afternoon teas.
