NEARBY

Dalby Forest is the main attraction within the North York Moors which has numerous walks and cycle routes to suit all abilities. Dalby forest also hosts open air concerts in June.
The local market towns and villages all have their own individual character with independent shops and interesting nooks and crannies to explore.
Pickering is one of the area’s oldest towns, founded in 270 BC! It has a castle, an eclectic museum and a wide variety of shops, cafés and pubs, and is at the start of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. A lively Monday street market and the first Thursday in the month is a farmers’ market and both are a good source of local produce.
Thornton-le-Dale is a well-known gateway to Dalby Forest. Visitors enjoy strolling along the stream which flows through the village, looking out for the beautiful Beck Isle Cottage, one of the most photographed chocolate-box thatched cottages in England.
At the eastern edge of the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is Malton. It’s becoming a real magnet for foodies and those who wish to enjoy its Saturday market, Georgian buildings and discover its links with Charles Dickens. Malton hosts the popular Malton Food Festival which is definitely worth a visit.

FURTHER AFIELD
Inland there are plenty of areas to explore. The Yorkshire Wolds offer quiet country roads and plenty of scenic stops for a picnic as you take in the diverse landscape and listen to the birdsong. There are lots of idyllic villages to visit all with their own unique charm. If you are looking for a bit more hustle and bustle then a visit to York is a must. York is steeped in history and there are so many tourist attractions to visit including Clifford’s Tower, The York Walls, York Dungeons, The Yorvik Museum, The York City Museum to name but a few. Shopping here is a must and a visit to York is not complete without a stroll down The Shambles and a visit to Bettys tearoom.
