It's not often you can enjoy two of our nation's favourite terrains in one region...Exmoor does pretty well in my view, with it's pony-strewn moorland running so close to the coast that the heather on the hills and the gorse of the coastal paths merge in a colourful summer fringe. But it's hard to beat the sheer magnitude and beauty of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park. Within this area's breath-taking contrasts lie scope for enjoyment so wide that it's a challenge to imagine anyone who wouldn't enjoy themselves if they made this area the focus of their touring hols. | ||
Walking on the North Yorkshire Coast | ||
For keen walkers there are literally hundreds of routes for walking in the North Yorkshire Moors National Park, the panorama of coastal path walking being high on ramblers' lists of must-do trails in the UK. Make for Flamborough head and enjoy the exhilarating 8 mile route along some of the most spectacular cliffs the Yorkshire coast has to offer, spotting birdlife and other wildlife along the way. For panoramic coastal views, explore the coast around the iconic seaside town of Filey. If you like to take in the odd strip of sand en route, explore Robin Hood's Bay, relishing the great coastal views from Ravenscar. There are literally dozens of options for exploring this fabulous stretch of coastline on foot. Pack a picnic and make a day of it! |  Brunner Picpack 4 Person Picnic Pack | |
Moor to Sea Cycle NetworkTwo wheeled exploration of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park has been helpfully enabled by a number of regional cycle routes which link to form the 'Moor to Sea Cycle Network' connecting Scarborough, Whitby, Dalby Forest, Pickering and Great Ayton. There's challenge for those who desire it (and more gentle loops for those who don't!) with stunning scenery to enjoy along the routes which alternate between moorland, forest and coastal loops. | ||
