Embark on a romantic and relaxing carriage ride through the picturesque woodland of Escrick Park! Our wonderful coachman, Gordon, and his beautiful horses will lead the way, allowing you to snuggle up and indulge in your picnic. Alternatively, you can choose to enjoy the carriage ride as is and then savour your picnic at the lovely farmhouse-style tearoom. As you gallop through the 250-acre woodland, you'll be treated to breathtaking views of the private estate and perhaps catch a glimpse of wildlife such as deer, birds of pray, and other charming creatures the idyllic Yorkshire countryside has to offer. In the warm summer months, an open carriage will be used, offering you the delightful breeze, while in winter, a closed carriage filled with blankets, cushions, and hot water bottles will keep you cozy and warm.
After the ride, you'll head home with a smile on your face, reminiscing about the wonderful time spent surrounded by nature's beauty.
