How to spend a weekend at Rudding Park in Harrogate

EAT Lunch treats Pizza on a garden sofa? That'll be the Clocktower Terrace & Outdoor Kitchen at Rudding Park ( where the chef, from Naples, serves them molten from his wood-fired oven. Somehow it doesn't feel like North Yorkshire – although we are in acres of parkland, once part of the Forest of Knaresborough and home to ancient oaks. Dinner winner At 7pm sharp (6pm Sundays), Fifty Two opens to just 20 diners. A black-painted shipping container at the front belies a huge kitchen garden, designed by Matthew Wilson of Radio 4's Gardeners' Question Time, which informs the ten-course tasting menu (£190pp with wines). We sit before the stage- like kitchen where chef Adam Degg (above, in foreground) is MC. The skrei cod and crab bisque 'tom yum' with fennel and kaffir was a favourite. The best meal I've had in years. STAY Rest your head What would you like? A spa room with private steam room from £487 a night? A lodge with a hot tub and generous veranda – from £428 a night based on six sharing? A cottage in the grounds, also sleeping six, from £448? Our room (from £324) had a giant bathroom full of Molton Brown products and we could sip home-brewed coffee outside in the morning sun before crossing the lawns for a 'full Yorkshire' breakfast at Horto restaurant. Best bit The exceptional, friendly staff (no bewildered sixth-formers on weekend shifts here). The business is owned and run by members of the local Mackaness family, who purchased the estate in 1972. There's even an ornate 19th-century chapel next to the Grade I Georgian house (above) should you ever feel the need for a marriage blessing. LOVE Go clubbing The driving range has Trackman touchscreens so you can play the latest golfing games with your partner, even if you lack Jack Nicklaus's prowess. There's an 18-hole course for more impressive handicaps. Whatever your level, whacking a ball has real-life benefits (mostly laughter), from £7.50. Woodland spring bathing In a huge hot tub among rhododendrons, you can wallow in chemical-free water, add a magnesium bath bomb and plaster your face with a Moorish mud mask. Champagne is served on request for those who like their soaks really messy. In the Roof Top Spa's massive jacuzzi (above), jets of natural spring water drawn from the grounds alleviate aches; while Brass Monkey ice baths induce yelps – an entertaining soundtrack for those who've merely ordered afternoon tea in the sun.

Marcus Rashford, 27, 'is BACK with ex-fiancee' Lucia, 26, two years after split - as she 'joins him in Barcelona to help him settle' after Man United exit

Marcus Rashford's summer continues to go from strength to strength after his reported reunion with his former fiancee two years after their split. The former Manchester United forward completed a season-long loan move to Barcelona this week, joining the Catalan club after breathing new life into his career on loan at Aston Villa last season. There had been doubt over his on-field future after Villa opted against signing him permanently and he was made part of Manchester United's 'Bomb Squad', but Barcelona swooped and Rashford didn't look back. Now, his a boost in his personal life is said to have followed his positive career change, with The Sun reporting that he is back with childhood sweetheart Lucia, 26. The outlet reports that Rashford, 27, asked Lucia to help him settle in Spain, providing a calming influence he felt he needed. The duo are said to have been together during a photoshoot before his unveiling at Barca. It comes two years after the couple split, having got engaged a year prior. The England footballer got engaged in May 2022 but the two went their separate ways a matter of months later It is reported that Lucia joined Rashford in Barcelona, taking the forward's photo and then checking his outfit before he posed beside a traditional red phone box for his announcement video. In the video, Rashford could be seen emerging, saying: 'Hello? Barca? For sure, I'm coming.' In June 2023, a source said that Rashford and Lucia felt 'the relationship ran its course', with the pair remaining 'very close friends'. It came as the then-Manchester United player, then 25, was since been spotted partying with a number of girls on a night out in Miami, Florida, and was seen returning with one of the group to his hotel at 5am in pictures obtained by The Sun. The sportsman jetted out to the Sunshine State this week and is said to have enjoyed the company of a number of bikini-clad women by the pool. A source told MailOnline of the split: 'Marcus and Lucia haven't been together for a number of months. It's nothing complicated; the relationship ran its course and they remain very close friends, and have a lot of mutual respect for one another.' 'Marcus is laser-focused on the next phase of his football career and is putting all of his focus in to that. He is about to come back to the UK after a successful trip coaching kids in Miami, and heads to England's training camp this week.' Rashford proposed on a postseason getaway in California after had been dating since the age of 15 when they were pupils at Ashton on Mersey school in Greater Manchester. Marcus had been planning the proposal for weeks and popped the question to Lucia at a lavish villa after they shared a romantic meal at celebrity seafood restaurant Catch LA, a source told The Sun. 'They went out in LA for a romantic night together on Tuesday and he proposed. It was extremely romantic. 'They celebrated afterwards with a group of close friends — including his United teammate Jesse Lingard,' the source said. Marcus shared news of the engagement on Instagram, posting an image of the pair embracing as they stood atop a bed of white roses in front of a heart-shaped archway. Another source said: 'All involved are thrilled at the recent news of the engagement,' and spoke of Lucia's influence on the Premier League star, who has received plaudits for his charitable work off the field but has struggled to perform on it since having shoulder surgery. 'Lucia has been a big part of Marcus' life... offering stability, a sense of belonging and assurance that can be rare to find,' the source told The Sun. The high school sweethearts had been together for eight years when difficulties associated with the Covid pandemic triggered a split. But the pair confirmed they had reunited in January 2022, just months before they got engaged, and their relationship is now reportedly back on track. Rashford fell out of favour at United after being criticised by current manager Ruben Amorim On the field, Rashford was banished from United by manager Ruben Amorim after the England star's work rate was called into question. He did not play for United again and joined Villa on loan, who opted to not make his move permanent and send him back to Manchester. Barcelona have the option to make his move permanent next summer for a fee in the region of £26millon.

Lionesses' fans flock to Basel to cheer on team in Euros final – as pubs prepare for bumper day

ENGLAND fans have flocked to Basel to roar on the Lionesses against Spain tomorrow — while millions at home will also be willing our girls to lift the Euro trophy for the second time in a row. Sarina Wiegman 's warriors have the perfect opportunity to avenge their crushing World Cup final defeat by Spain two years ago, and the nation is gearing up for the big match — guaranteeing a bumper day for pubs and supermarkets across the country. 3 Asda expects to sell at least six million pints of beer, 1.3 million bags of crisps and 300,000 pizzas, while a million extra pints will be sold in pubs, giving a huge boost to the economy. The bookies are in for a bonanza too, as in betting terms the match is set to be the biggest in the history of the women's game. England are the underdogs, with their odds currently at 2/1, but 80 per cent of punters are betting on them winning. Coral's John Hill said: 'We are seeing one-way traffic for the Lionesses in our betting, despite them being underdogs. "They have overcome the odds a few times in Switzerland, so the bookmakers are staring down the barrel at a bumper payout should they win.' England fans arriving at Basel Airport yesterday were convinced their heroines can triumph. Women's football consultant Andrea Ekblad, from St Albans, Herts, said: 'I was at the final at Wembley when they won the Euros in 2022. 'I'm superstitious, so I'm wearing the shirt I wore in 2022 — hopefully that helps them win.' Ava Lambert, 16, of Chelmsford, Essex, said: 'I've been watching all the games at home so I'm really pleased to be here for the final. 'Good luck England, you can do it.'
