The Animals of South Lakes Safari Zoo

18 August 202118 August 2021 Dave

We’ve been hoping for a chance to visit this zoo for a while and yet if we’d allowed ourselves to be influenced by some of the reviews on TripAdvisor we might never have done so. I’m so glad we decided to see for ourselves and enjoyed a great day out here. The zoo is located […]

Paddle Boarding at North Yorkshire Water Park

14 June 202115 June 2021 Dave

Is there a better way to spend an hour on a hot, summer Sunday afternoon that leisurely paddle boarding around a lake? I think not. However, it’s not as easy as it’s made to look by more experienced pursuants of this popular activity. We tried our hands (and legs) at it on a last-minute trip […]

Free Fun with the Kids – Hanging by the River

2 June 202115 June 2021 Dave

One of the challenges facing parents today is the fact that many of the activities you can do with your children costs money. In many cases it can be obstructively expensive. But it doesn’t always have to be that way if you take the time to find things to do that are free. Soft play, […]

Seal Watching at Ravenscar The Yorkshire Dad of 4

Seal Watching at Ravenscar

9 June 202021 October 2021 Dave

Ravenscar, the Victorian seaside resort town that never was, sits high on the cliffs of the North Yorkshire coast about 8 miles south of Whitby. It’s a place that has always fascinated me since I learned of its history. But, my first visit was for a different reason. The seals. *IMPORTANT*Please respect wildlife by keeping […]

Flamingo Land: The Zoo Around the Corner

27 February 202027 February 2020 Dave

Many years ago now we were members of Chester Zoo and would visit 2 or 3 times each month. Even though we then lived in Dewsbury, the 2-hour(ish) drive there didn’t bother us. But now we live in rural North Yorkshire and we have a zoo practically on our doorstep – Flamingo Land. When we […]

Events on the North York Moors with the Kids this October

25 October 201924 October 2019 Dave

You may have sussed me out by now – I love the North York Moors. We lucky to live on the very edge (not quite inside) and it’s a place we visit and explore quite often. There’s so much to see and do, and at this time of year it’s seems just that little more […]

Our Return to Bolton Abbey

8 August 20197 August 2019 Dave

Bolton Abbey, on the River Wharfe in Yorkshire Dales, is a tourist magnet and rightly so. It is a stunningly beautiful place with an awful lot to see and do if you, like us, enjoy the great outdoors. This past weekend we visited for the first time in rather a long time. Disclaimer: We were […]

Billy Shakes: Wonderboy! (Review) | The Yorkshire Dad of 4

Billy Shakes: Wonderboy! (Review)

31 July 201931 July 2019 Dave

Have you ever tried reading Shakespeare? Honestly, have you? Well, I have and I find it tedious! Plays are meant to be performed in my opinion, not read. Getting kids to read Shakespeare is even harder, but inspiring them to be interested in his work is easy – take them to see Billy Shakes: Wonderboy! […]

The Tempest at Shakespeare’s Rose Theatre, York (Review)

29 July 201930 July 2019 Dave

William Shakespeare, arguably the most famous playwright there ever was. Surely everybody has heard of him and is aware of at least one piece of his work? After all, studying a Shakespeare play is pretty much mandatory for GCSE English literature in the UK. But I confess, I am not really a fan – or […]

The Best Things In Life Are Free

25 July 201925 July 2019 Dave

The old saying that “the best things in life are free” is true. Honestly, it is. I’m not talking about things you are given or #gifted, I’m talking about the things you can do that don’t cost you any money. Last night was one of those times – a simple couple of hours spent in […]
