North Yorkshire Water Park is a fantastic scenic location for water sports with paddle boarding, kayaking and wake boarding on a large lake complex just 15 minutes drive from the lodge. Fishing permits are also available.
During the warmer months the park also offers a total wipeout inflatable assault course which is highly recommended and great fun.
You can bring your own equipment (launch fees are applicable) or you can hire all equipment on site.

Sightseeing
One of our absolute favourites (if you can handle the steep walk back up!)
Ravenscar is a beautiful location to visit anyway with stunning views across Robin Hoods Bay but with the added advantage of having a seal colony. The walk down to the seal colony is very steep but well worth it as you can see sometimes over a hundred seals basking on the rocks. Please be respectful and keep a safe distance. Mother’s with calf’s will be especially distressed if they feel threatened.
