"Advancing five miles from Stokesley, through a richly-wooded and well-watered country, we proceeded to Ingleby Greenhow, or Ingleby beneath the green hill, a small village situated near the abrupt declivities of a lofty range of moorland." J Walker Ord "The History and Antiquities of Cleveland, 1846
In INGLEBY GREENHOW village itself, do visit the little 12C St Andrews Church, it is beautiful and unusual. We also have the Dudley Arms Inn offering good food locally. If you want something a little more adventurous then SUP-Adventures

Ten minutes’ away is the picturesque village of GREAT AYTON, with its High and Low Greens, the River Leven running through the middle and Roseberry Topping and Captain Cook’s Monument as a backdrop. It was the boyhood home of Captain James Cook RN and the Captain Cook Schoolroom Museum has recently been renovated after a £200,000 grant from the Lottery Fund, and is very interesting for adults and children. Captain Cook’s mother, Grace, is buried in the little All Saint’s Churchyard. Petch’s Pies in Great Ayton are famous!
Great Ayton and the ancient market town of STOKESLEY both have bakers, greengrocers, newsagents, chemists, petrol stations, cash points and Co-op supermarkets. Stokesley’s market day is Friday and there is a good Farmers’ Market on the first Saturday of the month.
Further afield, GUISBOROUGH (20 minutes) has the remains of a Priory and a collection of good supermarkets (M&S, Sainsbury’s, Morrison’s, Lidl and Aldi). Market days are Thursday and Saturday.
NORTHALLERTON (half an hour) is an excellent shopping market town with lots of good independent shops like the Lewis & Cooper delicatessen, Barker’s Department Store (still a friendly family-run business), as well as Tesco, M&S, Sainsbury’s, Aldi and Lidl. Most importantly, however, either before or after the hard work is done, there is Betty’s Tearoom. Of all the six “Betty’s”, this is the closest and our Number One, the waitresses here are wonderful and you will really feel pampered. They roast their own coffees, serve a hearty all-day Yorkshire breakfast and light lunches, and cakes to die for, and they are open 7 days a week.

This tiny corner of North Yorkshire has produced two intrepid explorers. In 1728 James Cook was born at Marton in Cleveland and moved to Great Ayton as a very young boy, where he had his only formal schooling before setting off for Staithes and his amazing sea-faring career. Centuries later, Nicholas Patrick was born while his parents lived at Ingleby Manor. He went on to become an astronaut for NASA and in February 2010 he flew in the Spacecraft “Endeavour” to the Space Station. He carried with him a small photograph of his hero, James Cook, and also a small Colonial Red Ensign, the flag Cook sailed under on his famous voyages, which Nicholas’ father obtained from the Captain Cook Schoolroom Museum. Nicholas had previously flown on the Spaceship “Discovery”, named after another of Cook’s ships. While Cook circumnavigated the globe three times in the mid 1700s, in the short space of 24 days over two shuttle flights, Nicholas orbited almost 400 times.
