A Stroll Through Sledmere House and Gardens

Matt and his parents start their journey at Sledmere House, a Georgian country house surrounded by picturesque gardens. The grand estate offers beautifully landscaped gardens, intricate architecture, and a rare breeds farm park that provides an opportunity to get up close with rare and traditional breeds of farm animals. Whether it’s the friendly sheep, Highland cattle, or their Shire Horses, this experience offers something special for animal lovers of all ages.

While at Sledmere, they also take a look inside the fascinating Wagoneers Museum, which tells the story of the Wagoners’ Special Reserve—a transport unit made up of farmhands who served during World War I. This unique slice of history adds an interesting dimension to their visit, showcasing Yorkshire’s role in the war effort.

Birdwatching at RSPB Bempton Cliffs

Next, Matt and his parents venture to RSPB Bempton Cliffs, one of the UK’s premier birdwatching spots. Bempton Cliffs is particularly famous for its puffins, and Matt’s family eagerly searches for these delightful seabirds among the thousands of other nesting birds. The cliffs are also home to gannets, kittiwakes, and razorbills, making it a paradise for bird enthusiasts. The reserve is well-equipped with accessible pathways and viewing platforms, allowing visitors of all ages and abilities to appreciate the stunning birdlife and panoramic coastal views.
