About Sutton Bank National Park Centre

Situated towards the south of the National Park and just 25 miles from York, famous Vet and author James Herriot declared the views from Sutton Bank as the "finest in England". It's also home to our National Park Centre, where a world of adventure awaits... 

Be it dramatic walks and runs, thrill seeking bike rides, or dark sky discoveries, this is the place to get your heart rate going. But if it's a more relaxing day you're wanting, enjoy the slower pace with a quiet wildlife watch, cup of coffee in the Café or explore the exhibition and shop.  

For little ones, head to our outdoor adventure play area, with quirky treehouses, stone castle, three magical stone roundhouses, the large sandpit, mud kitchen and go log clambering over the 'swamp'. 
 
Toilet and EV charging facilities on site. 
 
Entry to the Centre is FREE.
