Plan your days out from the doorstep
From the market square to riverside walks, there's plenty to fill a weekend. Here's where to start.
Walk the market square
Start with a wander round Ripon's historic square, with its weekly markets and independent shops.
Visit the cathedral
Ripon Cathedral sits just minutes from your apartment. Step inside for a look round any day of the week.
Dine on local plates
Find cosy pubs and cafés serving Yorkshire produce, all a short stroll from your front door.
Take a riverside walk
Follow the River Skell for an easy, scenic route into the countryside and back to town.
Explore Fountains Abbey
A short drive takes you to this famous ruined abbey, set in acres of parkland and woodland.
We let the locals do the cooking
We don't run a restaurant, so we point you to the places in Ripon that do it right. Here's who we trust with your dinners.
