Spring Escapes

Just a few miles from London, the Surrey hills is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty of rolling chalk downs dotted with wild flowers, heaths with gorse and heather and ancient woodlands - providing some of the best walking country in Southern England.

Our hotel in Cobham, Woodlands Park, is close to some spectacular countryside, including Box Hill and the Greensand Way which runs from Kent to Surrey.

The North York Moors provide over 1,400 miles of paths and tracks for some serious walking, cycling and horse riding.

Crathorne Hall Hotel, Yarm, North Yorkshire, is close to the moors and makes an excellent base for exploring the countryside and the east coast of Yorkshire. The hotel is hosting a gourmet evening with a five-course dinner on Easter Sunday, 8 April.

The wild beauty of the Trossachs National Park and Loch Lomond for walking and watersports are around an hour’s drive away from Norton House Hotel and Spa, just outside Edinburgh.

The hotel has an award-winning spa and a 3 rosette restaurant for an indulgent end to an outdoor day.
