The Year of the Coast 2023 marks the creation of the England Coast path with celebrations happening across the entire English coastline. As part of the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III, the England Coast path has now been renamed the King Charles III England Coast path, and when complete will cover 2,700 miles!
The English coastline is one of the most varied in the world, and in North Yorkshire we have everything from harbour towns to dramatic chalk cliffs and quaint fishing villages
Discover local cuisine
The Yorkshire coast produces some of the best seafood in the UK, so indulging in the catch of the day is a must when you visit. There are also plenty of opportunities to experience fine dining, afternoon tea or a cosy café, followed by a locally brewed beer in a pub!

Don’t forget to stop off on your travels at one of the many cafes for a well-earned rest and refreshment.
