Ripon is beautiful.

My home town. Why go anywhere else when I have all this history on my doorstep?

I enjoy walking and rustic woodland. I want to go on an adventure!

Step out of the town and into the wilderness.

There are no trains in Ripon, so I will rely on buses and my trusty feet.

Ideas & Places:

History of the Horn blower tradition. Speak to horn blowers.

Cathedral and the underground crypt.

Fountains Abbey / Studley Royal

Spa Gardens

Leper Chapel

How Hill Tower

I asked a friend of mine who is really interested in urban exploration whether he knew of any untold stories and hidden places around Ripon. He told me of How Hill tower, which has 'lived many lives' and is 'strangely desolate despite its closeness to the city'.
