Falling Foss Tea gardens...

"All the world loves a waterfall"
Donald Boyd 1932

Falling Foss.

For many years this natural beauty spot has been a favourite for children. Let their imagination run wild in the forest, perhaps visit the famous Hermitage, a unique hermits cave carved out of stone, or just relax with a cup of tea while the children paddle in the beck and play pooh sticks on the footbridge (pooh sticks provided!)

Approx 5 miles from Whitby, 15 miles from Scarborough. From Whitby take the A171 towards Scarborough, turn right onto the B1416 (signed Ruswarp), turn 2nd left at Red Gates corner (signed Falling Foss). Car park is on the left after approx ½ mile. Foot path to Falling Foss (3 mins walk).

Jack and Steph Newman are delighted to announce the re-opening of Falling Foss Tea Garden.

Situated in Midge Hall, a tiny but hugely charismatic cottage which nestles in the woodland at the top of the magnificent Falling Foss waterfall. This has surely got to be one of the most beautiful places in the world.

Originally built as a game keepers cottage by Sir James Wilson in 1780’s, Midge Hall subsequently became a welcome retreat to ramblers and day trippers alike as "Mrs Robinson’s Tea Garden" in the early 1900’s.

Midge Hall.

Now, fully renovated and restored to its former glory, Jack and Steph extend a warm welcome to all. This is a truly magical place and whether you’re in the midst of the Coast to Coast walk or perhaps just out for a leisurely saunter through the woods, Midge Hall offers you the perfect place to relax and unwind, enjoy a light lunch, a sumptuous cream tea or perhaps just an ice cream.
