WALKING HOLIDAYS IN THE NORTH YORK MOORS
A much-treasured national park covering 554 square miles, the North York Moors does heather-clad moorland, ironstone mines, Cistercian monasteries, heritage railways, fishing villages, market towns, and Jurassic-era coastline on a grand scale.
For many, Whitby is the region’s showstopper. Straddling the slopes of the River Esk, it's home to the abbey that inspired Bram Stoker’s gothic novel, Dracula, and the house where Captain James Cook served his seaman's apprenticeship. Elsewhere, you’ll find beautiful beaches, a pretty harbour, and a maze of charming narrow streets packed with quirky pubs and seriously good fish and chip shops.

What to see on the North York Moors
The North York Moors is a storied and dramatic region filled literature-worthy scenery and walking trails that encompass the natural splendour of the moors. The countryside is filled with heather, gorse and wildlife, all of which is on display across the Cleveland Way National Trail, while the path that snakes across the coast lead from Ravenscar to Robin Hood's Bay and all the way up to Whitby at the northernmost border of the moors.
Additionally, you can walk from the market town of market town of Helmsley to Rievaulx Abbey, scramble through the Wainstones, and enjoy a strenuous hike on Cold Moor and Urra Moor.
