About this site
An independent guide, written by people who love the moors.
This site exists for one reason: to persuade you to visit the North York Moors, and to make it easy once you have decided to.
The moors are one of England's quieter National Parks. They do not have the profile of the Lakes or the Peak District, yet they pack in a coastline of fishing villages and fossil beaches, the largest expanse of heather moorland in England, a working steam railway, a string of medieval abbeys and market towns that have kept their independent shops. It deserves to be better known.
Everything here is written by people who walk these paths and eat in these pubs. We are independent of the National Park Authority, tourist boards and the businesses we mention. We do our best to keep opening times and event dates accurate but they change, so please check with the venue or organiser before you set out. If you spot something wrong or want to suggest a place we have missed, get in touch.
