Day Trip: Ryedale Folk Museum

On our drive back from our holiday to Whitby, we took the scenic route home and stopped by the Rydale Folk Museum. 

This is a lovely museum nestled in the beautiful village of Hutton-le-Hole, in the heart of the North York Moors National Park, the museum offers a unique glimpse of the past. For half a century they've conserved some of Ryedale’s most magnificent bits of heritage for future generations to enjoy.

The collections, spread over six acres, tell a story about a rural way of life from the Iron Age to the 1950s.

I love the shops the best, all the lovely packaging, old tin signs and the fact they were all independents, I wish high streets still looked like this.
