How Stean Gorge

 How Stean Gorge is a truly unique destination in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, offering a remarkable blend of adventure, relaxation, and natural beauty.

The jewel of the site is its spectacular events space—a modern, cantilevered room with a dramatic glass floor that hangs out over the gorge. Whether you're hosting a team-building day, birthday celebration, or stag/hen party, this space offers an unforgettable setting with panoramic views straight into the gorge below.

For those craving adventure, the How Stean Activity Centre delivers excitement in spades. From gorge walking and abseiling to canoeing, caving, and tackling one of the UK’s only via ferrata high-wire courses, the centre offers expertly guided experiences suitable for all abilities. You can even combine multiple activities into full-day packages like the thrilling "Big 5."

After a day of action, unwind in our glass floored café/bar. Suspended over the gorge like the events room, it serves up hearty, homemade meals—think steak sandwiches, fish and chips, and locally baked treats—all with breathtaking views. The café is family-friendly and features a sunny terrace and nearby play area for kids.

When it’s time to rest, retreat to one of the gorge’s cozy wooden lodges. Sleeping from 3 to 10 people, they come with wood-burning stoves, covered verandas, BBQs, and even wood-fired hot tubs filled with spring water. Some have full kitchens and ensuite bathrooms, while others share modern, underfloor-heated facilities.

Whether you're planning an event, seeking adventure, or simply looking to escape, How Stean Gorge offers a memorable experience like no other.
