About Danby Lodge National Park Centre

Nestled within the heart of the North York Moors, along the banks of the River Esk and a mere 16 miles from Whitby, Danby Lodge is the perfect place to start exploring the National Park. 

Home to walking trails, relaxing gardens, café, shop, and changing exhibitions in our Inspired by… gallery, this is the place where stories are told, ideas are sparked, and the North York Moors landscape is a constant source of inspiration.  
 
And new for 2024… our fantastic new adventure playground – Danby Den – is now open! With something for all ages, this accessible playground features swings, zip wires, slides, tunnels and so much more. A place inspired by nature for future generations. 

Toilet and E-bike charging facilities on site. 
 
Entry to the Centre is FREE.
