The North York Moors National Park has been shaped by nature and blessed with fantastic countryside and coastline. With the vibrant city of York within striking distance, the North York Moors are great for an all-round luxury cottage holiday. Stretching from just above Scarborough in the south, to just beyond Staithes to the north, the North York Moors National Park incorporates delightful market towns, ancient abbeys, heather-strewn moorland and miles of heritage coast rich with beautiful beaches, fossils and even the odd dinosaur footprint. Add to this intriguing local tales about smugglers, mermaids and giants, as well as wonderful local produce from fresh crab to heather-infused honey, the North York Moors is an enchanting place to explore.
