What's On in the New Year - January 2012

	Go Racing in Yorkshire Happy New Year! After achieving a total attendance figure in excess of one million last year on the Yorkshire racecourses, the first action of 2012 in the county starts with the traditional New Year's Day meeting at Catterick. The popular North Yorkshire track hosts an attractive programme over Jumps on Sunday, 1st, with mulled wine and mince pies served on arrival - while stocks last! Catterick stages further meetings this month on Thursday, 12th and Friday, 20th. The Thursday fixture features the longest race of Catterick's Jumping season, The North Yorkshire Grand National (won last year by General Hardi - owned and trained in County Durham by John Wade). The afternoon's racing also includes The W.L. & Hector Christie Memorial Trophy (a Novices' Chase), which commemorates William Christie and his son, Hector. William Christie passed away in 1962 at the age of 103. Educated at Eton and Oxford, his family were landowners in Wensleydale. In the Victorian era, he was an amateur rider, and rode winners in six different countries! Known as ‘The Squire of Jervaulx Abbey', William Christie owned racehorses until he was 100 years old and he served as a Steward at Catterick. His son, Hector trained Fortina (owned by Lord Grimthorpe) to win the 1947 Cheltenham Gold Cup. Last year's winner of this race was Heavenly Chorus, trained near Saltburn by Keith Reveley. Yorkshire's other Jumping venues, Wetherby and Doncaster, stage significant meetings which are sure to provide clues and provide opportunities leading up to the forthcoming Cheltenham and Grand National Festivals.
	Turner Trails JMW Turner RA (1775-1851) was one of Britain's greatest landscape painters, watercolourists and printmakers. Renowned as 'the painter of light', Turner's work helped to place romantic landscape painting on a par with history painting in the 19th Century and helped plant the seeds of impressionism. Turner first visited Yorkshire in 1797 and returned here throughout his life, inspired by the spirituality he found in its glorious landscapes. He visited more than 70 places, sketching and painting the views from so many angles. Many scenes in his Yorkshire works can still be viewed today. It was probably sometime towards the last week of August 1816 when Turner passed through Boroughbridge, whilst working his way towards Ripon from York, as part of his grand tour. Turner seems to have used the market town as a stopover and he probably stayed the night in one of the local inns (Probably the Crown Hotel). With the coming of the stagecoach, Boroughbridge, with its many inns, became one of the busiest staging posts on the Great North Road. This might not have been his only visit - he travelled up and down the Great North Road on a number of occasions, but this was the only occasion on which he made any sketches. He was intending to visit nearby Newby Hall and presumably put up at an inn whilst he presented his credentials and waited for a summons. Middleham Castle Turner visited the town of Middleham on his Yorkshire grand tour of 1816 when collecting sketches for a series of watercolours to illustrate 'A General History of the County of York' by Thomas Dunham Whitaker. Middleham Castle's massive Keep is one of the largest in England and the castle was the childhood home of Richard III. Middleham impressed Turner more than any other site in Yorkshire, if the number of his sketches is any indication. Semer Water Enjoy a long walk around Semer Water which Turner visited during his 1816 Yorkshire tour to sketch views for Whitaker’s A General History of the County of York series. Aysgarth Falls & West Burton Falls Turner sketched both waterfalls during one July day in 1816 on his extensive tour of Yorkshire to sketch views for Whitaker’s A General History of the County of York series. You can follow his route and see his views with this self-guided trail. You will also discover a carved screen rescued from a medieval abbey and even a stone space rocket. Knaresborough Castle Knaresborough was an important site to Turner and he visited twice, in 1797 and again in 1816. In 1797, he found plenty of material to sketch, including a fine view of Knaresborough Castle, a ruined medieval fortress overlooking the River Nidd.

Golf Course Harewood House Races Ripley Castle The Dales York Minster

Newby Hall and Gardens near Ripon, just around two miles from Boroughbridge is a great starting point for a visit to North Yorkshire. The house is one of England's renowned Adam houses, an exceptional example of 18th century interior decoration, recently restored to its original beauty and 25 acres of award-winning Gardens are full of rare and beautiful plants.

Harrogate and York, two of the most visited and attractive towns in the North of England and they are right on our doorstep. So, if you like living history, traditional shopping, with unusual and local crafts run by individuals and family businesses then visit Harrogate and York. Boroughbridge is almost equi-distant between the two and the Best Western Crown Hotel makes a fine base to visit both.

York is famous for the largest cathedral in Northern Europe, York Minster, you can walk its medieval walls, the National Railway Museum is here and there is the recently upgraded 'Jorvik' the Viking experience visitor attraction.

In Harrogate you can see some of the finest Victorian architecture, sweeping avenues and a genteel atmosphere, plus the famous Spa and recently restored Royal Hall. It's all quite 'posh'.

Harewood sits at the heart of Yorkshire, easily accessible by road, rail and air. The House, one of the treasure houses of England, was built in the mid-18th century and has magnificent interiors by Robert Adam, furniture by Thomas Chippendale and paintings by JMW Turner, Reynolds, Titian and El Greco, among others. An Italianate Terrace, designed by Sir Charles Barry, stretches along the South Front of the House and provides stunning views of Lancelot 'Capability' Brown's landscape and lake. The collection of paintings, furniture and porcelain is as fine as any in the land, and the setting is Yorkshire's most beautiful landscape.

Ripley Castle and Gardens, situated 3 miles from Harrogate in North Yorkshire on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, is an historic attraction open to the public all year round and makes for a fascinating and entertaining day out, in a beautiful location, with memorable surroundings.

The Castle also makes the perfect setting for any corporate entertaining event whether it be a conference, high profile business meeting or dinner.
