Music & Ale Train trip along the Esk Valley, Friday evenings in the Summer.
Esk Valley Music and Ale Train – Cancelled until further notice
A mobile party, featuring musicians and a real-ale bar, runs every Friday during the height of summer. Apart from the glorious scenery, refreshments and live music this is an ideal way to visit local hostelries at villages along the line for a meal and a relaxing few drinks before returning on the train.

A circular walk from Danby, including Oakley Side and Clitherbeck
A 3-mile fairly strenuous circular walk from the Moors Centre at Danby. The route heads out along the side of the Esk Valley on a quiet lane between pastures, before climbing up to join lanes and paths through the open moors for the return leg. There are stunning views across the moorland and valley throughout.
