Stean Gorge is not far from the villages of Lofthouse and Middlesmoor.
It is ideal for the whole family as well as outdoor groups, corporate
events, stag and hen groups and schools. As well as the "big five"
activities on site there are other outdoor activities available within
easy distance such as canoeing andkayaking on the nearby reservoirs. Entrance to the Gorge is through a Narnia themed wardrobe beyound which is a lamp post and a statue of Aslan. Here you are truely in another world! The visitor centre has a tearoom and for those wishing to enjoy the delights of How Stean Gorge a little longer camping is available on site. The pubs, both called The Crown in Lofthouse and Middlesmoor are within walking distance and the "Top Crown" up the hill in Middlesmoor is well worth a visit. Aslan statue, How Stean Gorge |

other in the campsite. How Stean Gorge is open all round. TELEPHONE: 01423 755666 E-MAIL: info@howstean.co.uk WEBSITE: www.howstean.co.uk Tom Taylor's Cave |
