The whole of the region is steeped in history. Take in the ambience of the resort with its fishing boats and steep narrow passageways. See the famous Abbey steps where you can climb up to St.Mary's Church. Once at the top there are spectacular views over the whole port. Well worth the effort! For those who

want to get away from it all then the North Yorkshire Moors, with its criss-cross of footpaths, will blow away the cobwebs and leave you fully refreshed. The journey to Whitby from the South takes you over the Moors with some of the most spectacular scenery in the UK. Robin Hood's Bay is a short journey round the coast, where

images of smugglers abound as its narrow alleyways tumble down to the North Sea. Grosmont, the home of the North Yorkshire Moors railway, is close by and, of course, the popular 'Heartbeat' village of Goathland is a must. There is so much to see and do you'll wonder how you will fit everything in.
