Heather moorland, abbeys, market towns and the steam railway

The North York Moors became a national park in 1952 and covers 1,436 km² between Scarborough, Thirsk and Teesside. It contains the largest expanse of heather moorland in the United Kingdom, with green pasture and woodland in the dales between.

Helmsley and Pickering are the market towns on its southern edge. Around Helmsley are its castle and the Cistercian ruins of Rievaulx and Byland; from Pickering the North Yorkshire Moors Railway climbs through Newtondale to Goathland and Grosmont. Hutton-le-Hole, the Hole of Horcum and Sutton Bank are the other classic stops.

出发前须知

1

Check the railway's reach

Bridge 42 at Grosmont needs repair; the NYMR's travel updates say how far trains currently run.

2

Abbeys by car

Rievaulx and Byland are a short drive from Helmsley; both are run by English Heritage, so check opening days first.

3

Sutton Bank views

Sutton Bank, on the Hambleton Hills, looks over the Vale of York and the Vale of Mowbray.

4

Mallyan Spout

The tallest waterfall in the national park is a short walk from Goathland.
