Hello Kevin! You're our this week at Sutton Bank National Park Centre

We're so glad you loved your first try of our scrummy chicken flavoured doggy ice cream. We hope you enjoy your new ball too, chosen from our in store range - we've heard you like to chase after them but you're not so keen on fetching!

In the meantime, enjoy your lovely long walks at Sutton Bank, and make sure you get all the cuddles when you cosy up with your pawrents after. We hope you can visit again soon!

So many lovely doggies have come to visit this summer! We've got a bumper edition for the last in August - Juniper and Ernie!

Both Juniper, the Jackahuahua (Jack Russell Terrier X Chihuahua) and Ernie, the Glen of Imaal Terrier, love to visit with their owners! Ernie is also sporting a handmade bandana crafted by his owner, Julia, who works for North York Moors National Park. We hope to see you again soon, Juniper and Ernie!

Check out our guide to walking at Sutton Bank National Park Centre, perfect for a trip with your furry friends! https://www.northyorkmoors.org.uk/things-to-do/attractions/sutton-bank-national-park-centre/walking-at-sutton-bank

Another update from us -

Forestry England is planning to repaint the White Horse the week commencing 7 September.

As such, the Kilburn car park will be closed from Tuesday 8 September to Friday 11 September (or until the work is complete) to avoid any issues with paint drift on to cars. The walking route down the steps to the car park will also be closed.

The Cleveland Way will still be open at the top of the White Horse, but just be aware you will not be able to follow the circular route down the side of the horse and back through the woods during the works.

Our National Park Centre and the 'Finest View in England' walking route will still be open for you to enjoy!
