Hi there, you can park here at night to stargaze, but we ask that vehicles are not left unattended all night. Many thanks.

Hi there, the walk across to the White Horse along the top of the plateau is pushchair friendly (though take care crossing the A170). You can see the walk on our website (TripAdvisor won't let me post the link) - the walk is called Sutton Bank and the White Horse Best wishes, Catriona

Drone operators do require landowner permission to take off and land. The close proximity of Sutton Bank National Park Centre to Yorkshire Gliding Club means that the Centre grounds and surroundings are not suitable for flying drones (new laws introduced 30 May 2018 restrict all drones from flying above 400 feet and within 1 kilometre of airport boundaries). Therefore it is unlikely that you will be given permission to do so. Where we have given permission previously, operators have been professionally registered and held public liability insurance. In the case of Sutton Bank, they must also contact the Gliding Club themselves and seek their permission to fly.

Yes there is. It's free to use but worth ringing ahead to book it. Please call 01845 597426 and the team will be happy to help with any other questions you might have. Many thanks.

There are very few bus services to Sutton Bank from Thirsk, the only one is the Sunday/Bank Holiday service provided by MoorsBus. You would need to take service M5 connecting with M4 at Helmsley which then goes to Sutton Bank. Please google Moorsbus to find their website and look at the Sunday and Bank Holiday timetables page.

Didn't meet attendant but still against paying to park to walk into the countryside .

I think the car park will be big enough. However it is a steep 1 in 4 windy route up and caravans are banned, but there is an alternative caravan route, and a lot of HGVs struggle. if your motorhome struggles with pulling power, you will be better following the alternative caravan route, then doubling back along the main road, to avoid getting stuck on the hill. Lots of HGVs get stuck and have to be towed off.

Hi David, the car park is open 24 hours a day. After dark, we offer free parking for stargazers and you're welcome to stay as long as you wish if you are stargazing. Many thanks.

Hi Jessica, you can't camp at the actual National Park Centre, though you are very welcome to visit during the night to view the dark skies. The nearest campsite is at High Paradise Farm, which is 4 miles north along the same escarpment, found by following the Cleveland Way National Trail with lovely dark skies to enjoy. Find out more by googling for their website highparadise Many thanks
