The countryside offers endless opportunities for exercise or
leisurely contemplation of its varied beauty. It stretches from
the Wolds to the Moors embracing the long coastline’s stunning
views.
Footpaths , trails and cycleways wend across the landscape, taking
you through hidden sleepy villages or up to dramatic cliff top
panoramas. The Cleveland Way and Wolds Way long distance walks
both traverse this countryside. From deep forest trails to wild
moorland heights, the beauty of nature and her wildlife is all
around you.
The North Yorkshire Moors Railway offers an 18 mile trip through
the heart of the moors, down ancient Newtondale. Stop off at Goathland,
the Hogwarts Express destination from the Harry Potter film and
also famous as Aidensfield.
Whether enjoyed through active exploration or from the warmth
of a village pub, the countryside has something new to offer in
every season. Share the changing scenery as the glow of autumn
brings peace from the summer crowds and nature wraps herself in
russet browns, preparing for the sleep of winter.
