Three great things about Yorkshire
North York Moors National Park
With ancient woods, charming villages, and vast moorland – this natural attraction is full of wonder. From Helmsley to Pickering and Robin Hood’s Bay, there’s plenty to see.
Literary connections
Culture vultures will find plenty to enjoy in this part of the world. Explore Dracula writer Bram Stoker’s beloved Whitby, or visit the Bronte sisters’ Haworth home and explore the moors and dales that inspired Tolkien.
York
Historic York is awash with history and culture. Walk the city walls, visit York Minster, and take a step back into Viking times at The Jorvik Centre. Equally enjoyable is a stroll along The Shambles to visit many a quirky shop and pub!
What our park team love about Yorkshire
The Cleveland Way - a spectacular coastal walk - passes right by Blue Dolphin, and has miles of outstanding views.

Filey seafront has a bouncy castle, trampolines and mini fairground rides (it's really fun!), and for bigger versions you can go to Bridlington or Scarborough. Making sandcastles on the beach is a must!

A visit to North Landing Beach is a must: the soft sands and rock pools are fun for all ages to explore, and your tots will love the adventuring into the caves looking for treasure and hearing their voices echo.

Dog walks on our local beaches are good for the soul. There's also Cool K9 – a dog park in Sherburn.

General Manager at Reighton Sands, Yorkshire
My favourite coastal walk is from North Landing around to the lighthouse - the scenery is stunning. For those who fancy a longer walk, follow on past the lighthouse and head to South Landing and the RNLI station.
Along the way you may even see the seals nesting in the cove below the lighthouse. A walk full of fresh air, scenery, and lovely food stops.

General Manager at Thornwick Bay, Yorkshire
Playdale Farm Park is located 10 minutes away and is a great day for the family including animals, rides, and play areas. Candy Kingdom and Secret Realm are great indoor play areas too.
