The next stage of our Moorsbus trip last weekend was to the Moors Centre at Danby, in Eskdale towards the north-eastern part of the Moors. This is a National Park visitor centre, in what was once a shooting lodge, and has a variety of facilities, including a shop, cafe, art gallery, woodland and parkland.
There have been a few changes since our last visit, with a reconstructed adventure playground which is now wheelchair accessible. There is also a new wooden arch over the entrance to the garden in front of the centre, with wood carvings of birds that can be seen in the area. These three shots are examples, with a woodpecker, an owl and a swift in the photos.
There was also an attractive display of paintings of birds in the art gallery as well. It is always interesting to see the latest exhibition, with a new display roughly every six weeks.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
Danby Moors Centre is a lovely place, particularly for children. Moorsbus timetables change each year and our journey there is now quite long and complicated. In the past we have done walks from the high moorland finishing at Danby where there used to be a direct bus back to York via Pickering, but sadly the current timetable doesn't allow that.
This was our first, and probably our only visit to Danby this year. Sadly, the Moorsbus timetable doesn't work very well to get us there this year, and we could only have a short stay. In previous years we have usually been several times each summer to see the changing art displays, and to enjoy some of the lovely walks in the area.
We saw one of the Moorsbus organisers on our trip this weekend and he was quite hopefull that the timetable for 2025 would restore the traditionally good link from York to Danby.
