Advertising feature – Quarry Moor & New Park, Ripon, Yorkshire

QUARRY Moor and New Park are two adjoining residential parks for the over 50s. The parks enjoy a quiet, secluded location within easy access of the charming city of Ripon.

They also offer beautiful, modern accommodation in a tranquil setting that is also a haven for wildlife.

The local area offers the best of both worlds, where modern and traditional values sit comfortably together. A bus stop at the entrance to the park allows easy access to Ripon and its superb amenities.

Located on the River Ure, Ripon boasts a comprehensive range of independent retail outlets and quaint tearooms, and is also well served with banking, medical and leisure amenities, including a swimming pool.

This beautiful market town was founded over 1300 years ago, and is famous as an old cathedral city where monasteries have stood since the 7th century.

The old city of Ripon is filled with shops, cafés, restaurants and pubs, and also boasts many historical buildings and museums, including Ripon Cathedral, the Wakeman’s House, Studley Royal, and Ripon Spa Gardens where a Victorian bandstand is set.

A market is held every Thursday on the market square next to its 300-year-old Obelisk, where the Hornblower will sound his horn at 9 o’clock every night.

In addition to these amenities so close at hand, the parks enjoy a rural location offering local walks, and the stunning area of Fountains Abbey, a World Heritage site, in the nearby village of Studley Roger.

Situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the valley of the River Skell, on the doorstep of the Yorkshire Dales and only 30 miles from the historic city of York, Fountains Abbey is a huge estate of beauty and contrasts, including the largest abbey ruins in the country, and one of England’s most spectacular Georgian water gardens.

The perfect place to escape from it all and enjoy a great day out, there is plenty to keep the visitor occupied. You can set your own pace to explore over 800 acres of naturally beautiful countryside, with ten historic buildings to discover spanning 800 years of history, and acre upon acre of open space.
