From moorland wilderness to stunning green valleys and heritage coastline, the North York Moors National Park is one of the finest landscapes in Britain. Miles of stunning heather, towering sea cliffs, secluded beaches and grassy dales give it a character all of its own.
Discover wildlife, historic buildings, archaeology, ancient woodlands and picturesque villages. The great variety of landscapes in the North York Moors is what truly makes it unique and gives it a character which so many people can enjoy.
Here you can experience the vast open space of moorland, listen to the call of the upland birds, walk for miles and miles or sit and watch the world go by. Visitors can wander through woods, saunter through picturesque villages of honey sandstone, throw pebbles in a stream or build sandcastles on the beach.
With over 1,400 miles (almost 2,300 km) of paths and tracks to choose from this wonderful corner of North Yorkshire is overflowing with opportunities for walking, cycling and horse riding.
In a region where local culture and traditions are strong there are signs of past generations, historic abbeys, embattled castles, churches, crosses and ancient routes.
