TIME FOR YOU
Inviting visitors to the North York Moors to escape from everyday life, seek peace and solitude in nature, discover hidden places and learn new creative skills
VAST AND UNSPOILED, the North York Moors is a truly special place. Shaped by nature, rich in history and offering the warmest welcome, it is full of treasures waiting to be discovered. From wild coast to ancient woodland; sweeping moorland to patchwork dale, the stunning National Park encompasses every aspect of the landscape to explore. Covering more than 550sq miles, it stretches from the rugged North Sea shores to the Cleveland Hills in the west, and the Vale of Pickering to the south.
This beautiful location is perfect for escaping the bustle of everyday life. The pressures of juggling work and family, and the intrusion of modern-day gadgets can be left behind here as visitors become immersed in the outstanding beauty and peace of the North York Moors.
Whether seeking solitude among nature, uncovering a secret sanctuary, stumbling upon a surprising view or stepping into the past at a majestic monument, spending time in this magical haven will leave visitors with a sense of calm, and feeling refreshed.
Step into another world at Helmsley Walled Garden: five acres of colour and tranquillity to soak up at a relaxing pace. Wander among the collection of more than 6,000 trees at the Yorkshire Arboretum, with its hidden glades and wild flower meadows, or meander through the stunning grounds of Mount Grace Priory, House and Gardens, which includes the ruins of a 14th century Carthusian priory.
Enrich a stay with a visit to the fascinating relics of Rievaulx Abbey or be inspired by the grandeur of magnificent Castle Howard. Alternatively, seek out the quiet winding streets of picturesque Staithes, with its characterful cottages, the harbour at Whitby under its Gothic abbey or perhaps take in the sights with a leisurely ride on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway.
With endless opportunities to create cherished memories, the North York Moors allows visitors to indulge their passions, restore inner harmony and lift their spirits. It is the ideal destination to make well-deserved time for you.
