Step straight from the door onto beautiful walking trails that lead into the Cleveland Hills and the North York Moors National Park, a haven for hikers, cyclists, and nature lovers alike. Swainby itself is a delight, with a welcoming village pub less than a mile away – perfect for a hearty meal or a refreshing pint after a day of exploring.

Picturesque villages like Osmotherley, with its charming stone cottages and tearooms, and Great Ayton, the boyhood home of Captain James Cook, are also close by and well worth a visit.

Nature enthusiasts will relish trips to places like Roseberry Topping, an iconic hill with breathtaking views from the summit, or Cod Beck Reservoir for a gentle waterside stroll. The coastal gems of Whitby, Saltburn-by-the-Sea, and Staithes are within reach for a day by the sea, offering sandy beaches, historic harbours, and fantastic seafood. For a touch of culture, head to the nearby town of Richmond with its Norman castle and Georgian theatre, or spend the day exploring the sweeping landscapes and abbey ruins of the Yorkshire Dales, only a short journey west.
