Yorkshire (/ˈjɔːrkʃər, -ʃɪər/; abbreviated Yorks), formally known as the County of York, is a historic county of Northern England and the largest in the United Kingdom. Due to its great size in comparison to other English counties, functions have been undertaken over time by its subdivisions, which have also been subject to periodic reform. Throughout these changes, Yorkshire has continued to be recognised as a geographical territory and cultural region. The name is familiar and well understood across the United Kingdom and is in common use in the media and the military, and also features in the titles of current areas of civil administration such as North Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire and East Riding of Yorkshire.

The Mill proved to be fascinating for my kids Age 9 and 13). They were intreagued by the workings of the mill and enjoyed following through the story of how the mill was used. We visited on a wet day and it was a great place to shelter for an hour. The victorian house was well set up and again provided lots of discussion in relation to the artifacts. The whole environment was well set up, informative and interesting. It will be great to come again once the covid rules are relaxed further. Gardens were out of action due to weather.

100 acres of beautiful woodland gardens and the UK's finest Bird of Prey & Wildlife center. Walks, trails and glades to explore. One of the finest collections of trees in the North of England. As well as the gardens founded by Sir Leonard Ropner, Thorp Perrow also includes Milbank Pinetum planted by Lady Augusta Milbank in the nineteenth century and the 16th century Spring Wood. Thorp Perrow is home to five National Plant Collections; Tilia (Lime), Fraxinus (Ash), Cotinus (Smoke Bush), Laburnum and Juglans (Walnut) and boasts 66 Champion trees in its collection. Thorp Perrow is also home to a Bird of Prey and Mammal Centre. Situated in the old walled garden is a collection of birds of prey and mammals. With daily flying displays and tours lots for all the family to see and do! Children can let off some steam in our woodland playground whilst parents can enjoy a nice cup of tea and some delicious cake from our tearoom. A fantastic day out all year round
We went there with our 5 and 3 years old children and spent around three hours. They thoroughly enjoyed the bird display and wallabies and we will definitely come back during summer so we could spend a bit more time exploring.
