Somewhere to stay: Middlethorpe Hall & Spa, York
A grand William III mansion in York
Standing in 20 acres of award-winning gardens on the outskirts of York, Middlethorpe Hall is just across the road from the racecourse.

The hotel is an ideal base for exploring the treasures of the north, including the Yorkshire Dales National Park and moors, as well as York itself.
