Find stays near Mount Grace Priory on the map ↓Mount Grace brings several visits together: a Carthusian monastery, a later Arts and Crafts house and gardens running up to the Monks’ Pond. An Osmotherley inn lets you follow this with a village evening and Cod Beck walk; Northallerton offers rail arrival and a busier High Street base. Neither is the visitor entrance. The priory lies beside the A19 at Staddlebridge, and its approach matters more than the small distance on a map.
FIND YOUR BASE
Combine the priory with an Osmotherley pub evening and a separate Cod Beck Reservoir circuit.
Good for: A village and countryside break.
Before you choose: Do not assume a short direct walk to the priory: English Heritage’s suggested village walking connection is 4.5 miles.
Use Northallerton’s mainline station and High Street for arrival, dinner and a planned transfer to Staddlebridge.
Good for: Rail arrival with a town evening.
Before you choose: The station is about six miles from the priory; no bus runs directly to its entrance.

ROOM FOR YOUR NEXT TRIP
The Golden Lion offers a village night; The Northallerton Inn gives a mainline-town alternative. Both require a separate priory journey.
West End gives a village inn evening for the Osmotherley and reservoir option.
Before you book: Choose the actual room category and ask about stairs and parking. Pet owners need a different overnight option; the room restriction is separate from any pub policy.

FAMILY BREAKS
The reconstructed cell makes a useful contrast with the larger cloister and later house; split the visit into these different ways of living.
ROMANTIC BREAKS
Cod Beck’s reservoir circuit gives the next morning a different landscape, without trying to fit two historic houses into one day.
A LITTLE ROOM TO EXPLORE
Allow a full priory outing, then use a second morning for the reservoir landscape.
Dine in Osmotherley or Northallerton and arrange the next day’s transfer before setting out.
Start with the monastery and reconstructed cell, then see the Arts and Crafts house and gardens that followed it.
Use Yorkshire Water’s 1.5-mile reservoir circuit north of Osmotherley. Parking is north of the water; village toilets are separate from the walk.
Less time? Keep the priory, house and lower gardens for a one-night visit; omit Cod Beck rather than rushing the historic site.
BEFORE YOU CHOOSE
Yes. English Heritage says National Trust members and non-members pay for parking here. English Heritage members park free with their valid car sticker displayed.
The site is near the A19 at Staddlebridge. Follow the brown signs and plan the turning off the dual carriageway; the postcode is DL6 3JG.
Northallerton station is about six miles away and there is no direct bus to the site. English Heritage suggests a bus to Osmotherley followed by a 4.5-mile walk, so a booked taxi may suit a short break better.
Dogs on short leads may use the grounds but cannot enter the house, reconstructed monk’s cell or café interior. Assistance dogs are welcome throughout.
The Manor House museum is upstairs without a lift, and the cloister and reconstructed cell have steps. The garden and grounds also have uneven surfaces; three accessible parking spaces can be reserved by calling ahead.
