A Stones Throw, East Ayton

East Ayton can be found in the Scarborough district of North Yorkshire. Offering its own pub, fish and chip shop and a village hall, it hosts an array of useful amenities both in the village itself and slightly further afield. There is also a small scattering of independent shops, offering vegan friendly health and beauty products at the Green Donkey Apothecary, gifts for all the family at Fred and Mabel, and something to keep the kids entertained for hours at the Mucky Monkey Toy Shop. For an indulging day out, head to Betton Farm, offering delicious cream teas, and don’t forget to stop at Betton Wines on your way home to discover your new favourite tipple. Travel a little further to the bustling resort town of Scarborough, with its own castle and Rotunda Museum of Geology for the history lover, Alpamare UK and watersports for the avid thrill seeker, and not forgetting the amusement arcades on the sea front for an evening of family-fun. With the North York Moors National Park just a short drive away, it’s an opportunity you can’t ignore to discover some of the most glorious scenes in the whole of North Yorkshire.
