Things to See and Do
We want you to create memories that you can replay time and again – here are some of our favourite ways to immerse yourself in the Kilnsey Experience.
Catch your own… Fishing is a fantastic way to get outdoors, relax in nature and learn a new pastime. We welcome everyone from families and first timers to experienced anglers. To find out more about our fishing please click here.
Meet the animals… From goats in the air and rare breed pigs, to alpacas and mini-sheep in the meadow, you’ll see our animals and learn why they all have a special connection to Kilnsey.
The magic of water… A million gallons of crystal clear springwater gushes from the hillside every day – the source of life here for over a thousand years. Immerse yourself in the soothing sound of running water.
Wild Dales… Meet some of the rarest inhabitants of the Yorkshire Dales, including our wonderful wildflowers. See our honeybees at work on the nature reserve.
Underwater world… Watch the water boil as you feed our giant rainbow trout. Learn about how we produce the finest quality fish and watch them being smoked over wood chippings – then buy some to enjoy at home.
Green power… see how we generate our own electricity from sun and water, and learn about our passion for looking after the beautiful Dales.
All year round… Seasonal trails mean that there’s always something new for you to discover on each visit.
And to finish
After all that adventure you’ve earned a treat… relax and enjoy a proper cup of Yorkshire tea and home-baked cake in the cosy cafe, or try our famous Pink Fish & Chips. To find out more about the cafe click here.
