Five Family Activities to Enjoy During the Longest Days at Kiplin Lodge Park


Summer days seem endless.


But do we truly make the most of them?


Yorkshire's long summer days offer unique opportunities for family adventures.


At Kiplin Lodge Park, we've seen countless families create magical memories during the extended daylight hours of June. The summer solstice brings nearly 17 hours of daylight – that's plenty of time for adventure!


Here are five family activities our guests love during the longest days:


1. Dawn Wildlife Watching


Early risers catch nature at its most active. Our peaceful grounds attract deer, rabbits, and dozens of bird species. Bring binoculars and watch the morning unfold from your lodge veranda.


2. Picnic Adventures


Pack a hamper and explore the Yorkshire Dales. With daylight lasting until nearly 10pm, there's no rush to return. The nearby River Swale offers perfect picnic spots where children can paddle safely.


3. Evening Bike Rides


The long twilight hours create perfect conditions for family cycling. Several gentle routes start directly from our park – we're happy to recommend the best ones for your family's abilities.


4. Outdoor Games Tournament


Our spacious grounds provide plenty of room for family competitions. Bring your favourite outdoor games or borrow from our collection. The extended evening light means tournaments can continue well after dinner.


5. Sunset Hot Tub Sessions


End your day with a family hot tub session as the sun slowly sets. The changing colours of the Yorkshire sky create a stunning backdrop for conversations about the day's adventures.
