Malton Picnic Area
Scenic spot
👍 Around a dozen car parking spaces and picnic benches. Unfortunately quite a bit of litter, which stops this being five stars, but beyond that we had a gorgeous walk with our daughter and dog. Clearly signposted from the main road, which I appreciated!

Dragonflies
Children's amusement center
👍👍 Too many bad reviews lately for a great place to visit with the kids.
I was here quite early on a Saturday morning for a party and fail to see how tables are "squashed" together. There's plenty of room between each table, but I would advise not to bring prams inside as that will make it squashed....
