Sutton Bank is within easy access, call at the visitors’ centre or head out where the footpath joins the famous Cleveland Way. There are numerous cycle routes that take you through stunning countryside. From the village there is a path leading directly into the village of Sutton-under-Whitestonecliffe which is about a mile away. A little further away in Felixkirk you will find a pub serving locally sourced produce.

Thirlby is a perfect base to explore further afield. Close by is the market town of Thirsk, with a varied mix of individual shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants and a pretty riverside walk. For cultural outings, visit the stately homes at nearby Castle Howard and Nunnington Hall, abbey ruins at Rievaulx and Byland, and the World Heritage Site at Fountains Abbey.
