    Forest Retreat manager Hannah at Cropton, Forest Holidays

    Hannah Gray

    Guest Experience Manager Yorkshire

    You’ll find Hannah busy working in the Forest Retreat or helping out and about on location. Her favourite place to visit in the local area is The Seal Colony at Ravenscar followed by a bite to eat at the Graze on the Green, Rosedale. Hannah’s rainy-day of choice would be to snuggle up with a good film, hot chocolate, snacks and listen to the rain. Her favourite forest fact would be that Fly Agaric Mushrooms don’t grow with white spots, they grow with a white veil, this then bursts and creates the white spotted appearance.

    What is your favourite thing about working at Forest Holidays?

    “The training, development and progression within the company.”
    Keldy, North Yorkshire
