Take a look some of the things we do!

This film was created by students from Leeds Trinity University College as an end-of-year placement project.

We can’t thank them enough for their hard work, enthusiasm and a great final product.

Thank you Joe, Katie, Natalie and Sean

Open Country is a Harrogate-based charity that seeks to enable anyone with any disability to access the countryside.

We achieve this through a variety of countryside activities and the provision of information, training and advice.

Fully accessible transport is provided and teams of trained volunteers are on hand to offer assistance as necessary. For more information about Open Country please click here

Have a look at the video - we were featured on Countrywise!

We have to raise over £150,000 every year to keep providing the services that we do. Any contributions are greatly appreciated. You can make an online donation via Virgin Money Giving...or click here for other ways you can donate. Thank you for your generosity!

We love this video put together by British Cycling ahead of the York Sky Ride which demonstrates just how great our Tandem Clubs are!
