Easter is the real start of the season. The North Yorkshire Moors Railway is running daily, the coastal cafes reopen, and depending on the date Farndale's wild daffodils may still be out. Lambs are in every field and the coast is quiet enough to enjoy.
Easter weekend ideas
- The daffodil walk in Farndale if Easter falls before mid April
- Egg rolling on the hill below the White Horse at Kilburn, a local tradition on Easter Monday
- Steam to Goathland and the Mallyan Spout walk
- Whitby, before the summer crowds arrive
- Sutton Bank and the Cleveland Way at their best in clear spring light
Weather
April is changeable. Expect anything from frost to shirt sleeves in one weekend; the tops stay cold.
Most attractions reopen for the Easter holidays with full hours
Parking in Goathland, Hutton-le-Hole and Robin Hood's Bay fills by late morning on Easter weekend
