The Apple Barn is an ideal base for anyone looking for a walking or cycling holiday, the peaceful and relaxing surroundings provide you with a lovely taste of Yorkshire rural life with the historic city of York right on your doorstep, what more could you ask for?

The Yorvic way, a long distance recreational path of some 65 miles encircling York, skirts the village to the west and the country roads around Holtby are
excellent for cyclists, being relatively quiet and
undulating. For the more adventurous though they will lead you to the steep slopes of the Yorkshire Wolds and Howardian Hill.

The National Route 66 is an excellent cycle/walking pathway which runs very close to the village. For those less adventurous we have a network of public right of ways, bridleways and country lanes all of which link Holtby to neighbouring villages.
