West Leas Farm is situated within easy reach of most Yorkshire attractions where you'll encounter rolling green fields surrounding pretty market towns with cobbled squares, sheep, sheepdogs and sheep fairs, big skies and sweeping views, waterfalls, caves and craggy hillsides. Venture further afield and you'll find the amazing landscape of the North York Moors and the beautiful Yorkshire Coast.
Close by are the villages of Kirkby Malzeard and Galphay, Ripon 6 miles. Kirkby has a newsagent, butchers, shop, chip shop, pub, doctors surgery and a small garage. Galphay, a popular quaint little pub which is dog friendly with log fires and a sheltered garden terrace, offering great food.
Footpaths lead directly off the farm to both villages and there are plenty of lovely walks, including bridle paths and green lanes. We provide a map of the farm and indicate footpaths for your enjoyment.
