Yorkshire is a county steeped in history and ancient traditions, some of which have been passed down for centuries. If you’re staying in one of the luxury shepherd’s huts at West Hale Gate Glamping, you’re perfectly located to explore some of the most interesting and unique events in the area.<\/p>\n
One of the most famous traditions is the Kiplingcotes Derby, which is believed to be the oldest horse race in England, and perhaps even in the world. This event has been held every third Thursday in March since 1519 and local riders compete on a makeshift course in the Wolds just outside Market Weighton. Even if you’re not into horse racing, it’s worth attending just to witness a piece of history that has been going on for over 500 years.<\/p>\n
Another unique tradition is the Ripon Hornblower, who has been blowing his horn every night for 800 years. This ceremony takes place in the market square at 9 pm, and if you’re staying at West Hale Gate Glamping, you’re only a short distance away. It’s an experience that’s not to be missed, and you’ll feel like you’ve been transported back in time.<\/p>\n
If you’re looking for more history, the Yorkshire Museum in York is a must-visit attraction. There you can see artefacts from Roman times to the present day, including treasures from the Viking era. Or you can visit Scarborough Castle, a stunning English Heritage site that overlooks the North Sea. The castle has a rich and fascinating history and is a great place to explore with the whole family.<\/p>\n
