This market town is known as Yorkshire’s Food capital. There’s an array of independent boutiques and eateries set around the market square.  Talbot Yard food court is the place to go for foodies with its own gin distillery and master patissier no less!

This National Park is about so much more than expanses of moorland and wild heather. It extends to the coast and is dotted with towns and villages.  A steam train takes visitors across the moors from Pickering to Whitby, stopping at Goathland and Grosmont.

Pickering, home to North Yorkshire Moors steam railway.  Step back in time, travel through the stunning moors to Whitby. Beck Isle Museum, Botham’s tearoom and St Peter & St Paul’s church with its mediaeval artwork, also need a visit.

York’s skyline is dominated by York Minster which in turn is surround by cobbled streets and narrow lanes. Today most of these are boutiques and cafes.  You’ll find plenty of museums here too, including Jorvik, The Castle Museum and the National Railway Museum.

Explore for the cobbled streets of Whitby with its prominent abbey and harbour, or Robin Hood’s Bay with its narrow streets and smuggling history. Or head to the brighter lights of Scarborough. The coast is only 25 miles away.
