Also known as Yarm-on-Tees, this picturesque village in North Yorkshire boasts a number of parks and a thriving health and beauty industry, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing day out or a weekend away. Sitting snug on the banks of the river Tees, you can even indulge in a peaceful boat trip or riverside walk, many of which are in view of the graceful arches of the town’s impressive viaduct.

FINZI
Family owned Italian restaurant Finzi, specialising in gourmet pizzas made with high quality ingredients found locally and cooked on site. Finzi prides itself in delivering new and exciting tastes to non-Italians, giving everyone the opportunity to the full range of flavours their regional cuisine has to offer. Nothing smells better than freshly baked pizza, so follow your nose (and your stomach) and pick up a meal for dinner or lunch from here.

FOURTEEN DROPS
For the perfect accompaniment, a must-stop is Fourteen Drops. A bar and a winery, specialising in small and artisan wineries avoiding the chemical and big commercial operations. Their selections show their advocacy of ‘Terroir’ a term used to express the environment of the vines which gives the wines they supply a true identity of place. You may want more than fourteen drops when you go.

Park life - Leven Park and Willey's Park in Yarm
That’s right, walkies. Also a valid option for non dog owners to stroll around, both relatively close to the town centre and providing some pretty and open spaces to enjoy for a picnic (with items picked up from a local deli) or to relax. Here's a map to guide you there.
Take a boat on the River Tees
If going further out is an option, then Tees Heritage Park is not far away. Enjoy a picturesque wander along the River Tees, with Yarm’s famous viaduct stretching across providing a dramatic backdrop for your instagram feed.

If walking just isn’t for you, then allow the currents of the River Tees to do all the work with a boat ride. Make sure to book in advance!
