Beat the January blues with Raby Estates’ Unlimited Entry Offer

Raby Estates is offering an unlimited January entry, meaning visitors can return to its popular attractions throughout the month for free after purchasing a ticket.

The County Durham Estate is opening its historic Deer Park and Walled Gardens in the grounds of Raby Castle and close by High Force Waterfall as part of a new initiative to help people combat the January blues.

Claire Jones, head of leisure and tourism at Raby Estates said: “Whilst still in the depths of winter, January is an optimistic time filled with resolutions and new routines.

“We want to share everything Raby has to offer so that people can enjoy it as many times as they’d like. Our visitors can make the most of winter landscapes, fresh air, and wildlife – all on offer throughout January.”

A ticket to the Deer Park and Walled Gardens will allow walkers to explore the ancient grounds and amble at their leisure through the recently renovated Walled Gardens, by renowned designer Luciano Giubbilei and Lady Barnard.

Tickets to the breathtaking High Force Waterfall are also part of the offer. Suitable for all levels of walkers, the circular route highlights the beauty of the cascading waterfall and younger visitors are entertained with a magical woodland sculpture trail along the way.

There’s also Social Sundays taking place throughout the month at Raby Castle, Park and Gardens, which include a guided walk around the picturesque deer park, and a social gathering on Monday 20^th January, known as Blue Monday, in The Vinery where some of Raby’s team will be on hand for a chat and to lift spirits, whilst everyone tucks into a piece of cake and a hot drink.

Raby Castle’s Christmas in the Entrance Hall experience will still be available in the new year until Sunday 5^th January so visitors can enjoy even more during their visit.

The unlimited January offer applies to High Force Waterfall, and Deer Park and Walled Gardens tickets purchased from the 2^nd to the 31^st January. Visitors wishing to return should keep hold of their original ticket purchased in January and present it on re-entry. Upgrades into The Plotters’ Forest Adventure playground are available.

The initiative also serves as a trial period helping visitors decide if the year-round Raby Membership will suit their lifestyle. Guests can be assured if they like the historic Deer Park and Walled Gardens in January, then what awaits them in spring, summer and autumn is a bounty of beauty and peaceful moments in nature.
