Today, we decided to take a trip to two charming local towns—Leyburn and Bedale. When we arrived, we quickly realised that we’d actually visited both towns during our trip to Yorkshire back in October last year! Still, they’re such quaint and beautiful little villages that it was a pleasure to return.

The boys had a great time playing in the park behind Bedale Museum. It’s a lovely spot for kids to run around and burn off some energy, with lots of green space and fun little areas to explore. After letting the boys enjoy the park, we continued our journey and made a brief stop at Thornton Steward Reservoir on our way home. It’s a lovely spot, but word of advice: don’t wear sandals! The area is covered in sheep poo, so next time, we’ll be sure to bring trainers!

It was a relaxed and enjoyable day, revisiting some familiar spots and discovering a few new ones along the way. We’ll definitely return to these towns, but with the proper footwear next time!
