North Yorkshire has one of the finest stretches of coastline in Britain from golden beaches to rocky coves and towering cliffs. The diversity of the landscape is very evident.

The Yorkshire Dales National park has a network of drystone walls which mark the boundaries of agriculture with a history reaching back for centuries. The sweeping heather moors, picturesque traditional villages and rich heritage ensure there is something for everyone to enjoy all year round

Walking, cycling or driving you will encounter many beautiful and fascinating features. Rock formations, which go back to the Ice age, ancient crafts, historical houses and Abbeys, abound.
