If you're at all interested in modern history this place is a must, full of information. A good place to take children too as each "hut" is staged as something different. Shops, theatre, the underground, submarine etc so they can pick and choose which ones they go in. So much to see difficult to do all in one day! Some of the prisoners (Italians and Germans) from Eden camp worked at Castle Farm, alongside local employees during the war.

Rievaulx Abbey
Rievaulx BankNear to Helmsley also lovely market town to visit.
Truly spectacular ruins, the home to two UNESCO world heritage sites. If you like architecture and gardens I would say this is a must. They allow dogs on leads and there are 2 cafes on site.
