The Yorkshire Moors and Coast is an area of striking contrasts whose natural beauty has provided an inspiration to many. Gentle rolling countryside of purple heather moorland, patchwork farmland, ancient woodland and wildflower rich vales stretches out to meet rugged coastal cliffs and golden sandy beaches.

Charming market towns and vibrant coastal resorts sit side by side with picture postcard villages, castles, abbeys and stately homes. With first class accommodation and plenty of feasts for your stomach as well as your soul, come and discover your own little piece of Yorkshire heaven.

This landscape of grand sweeping bays, soaring cliffs, rolling moorland and pretty fishing and farming villages has provided an inspirational setting for more than a few films and TV series - from Brideshead Revisited and Heartbeat to James Herriot’s much-loved rural tales. It’s easy to see why.

There’s something for all tastes here, with hundreds of exciting festivals, museums, agricultural shows and cultural events all year round - such as Scarborough’s calendar of sport, or the 2 week Ryedale Festival which brings together exciting young artists and established stars. And the region is dotted with historic abbeys, castles, market towns and seaports.
