Places to visit during your stay at Lund Farm
Holiday Cottages
If you want a really peaceful holiday
you don't need you leave Lund Farm at all. You could just chill on your private patio with a glass of wine and your
favourite holiday read. You could borrow our bicycles and cycle down the farm to several relaxing picnic
sites by the Selby canal.
Lund Farm Cottage guests have acess to specially discounted rates at
Angel Riding Centre (just half a mile) (for a small donation to charity you can include the
Lund Farm circuit as part of your ride), Selby Golf Club, just a par five away (not my original line, James's from Mackinder farms
next door, thank you James !), and, just 2 miles away, taster flights at Burn Gliding Club.
York
Lund Farm is conveniently placed for the historic city of YORK, with its beautiful Norman Minster and city walls, archaeological evidence of its Viking origins, museums
(including the National Railway Museum), river trips, narrow streets such as The Shambles and “ghost walks”. Even the tea-shops in York are world-famous! York's latest attraction is Chocolate - York's Sweet Story where you can discover the story of chocolate and
confectionery in York.

Selby
SELBY,
our local town, also has a wonderful Norman Abbey with links to the Washington family, a large traditional Monday street market,
and excellent rail links all over the country (London two and a half hours). There are nature reserves for
bird-lovers not far away at Blacktoft sands and Fairburn Ings, and Stately homes at Harewood, Lotherton Hall, Temple Newsam and Brodsworth Hall. For eating out, there are numerous coffee shops and quality
restaurants such as the Hope Yard Cafe, Rioco coffee shop, The Little Coffee House, Thai Sunshine Restaurant and Le Raj Indian restaurant.
Leeds
To the
west of Selby is LEEDS, a thriving modern city with a world class shopping centre including top stores such as
Harvey Nichols. Other places of interest in Leeds include The Royal Armouries, The Henry Moore Foundation and Tropical World.
North Yorkshire
From the
very centre of Yorkshire the choice of day-drives is endless. Dozens of beautiful stately homes (Castle Howard), ancient castles and ruined abbeys (Fountains), a huge variety of scenery from rich lowlands to the Yorkshire Dales of Herriot
and the lonely North York Moors.
There are
seaside resorts from Captain Cook’s Whitby to Scarborough and
Bridlington, children’s animal farms, the Eureka! children’s museum and the steam railways of “Railway Children and “Heartbeat” fame. Don’t forget the spa town of
Harrogate and the thriving modern city of
Leeds.
Around the Farm
But you
don’t have to drive far.. You can simply stay on the farm to relax, help us with the sheep perhaps,
walk the canal bank adjoining the farm, or we can direct you to local pubs,
tea-shops or woodland walks. Selby Golf Course is within walking distance of Lund
Farm.
