North York Moors Activities
Activities & Things to do in the North Yorkshire Moors!
There
are so many things to do in the North York Moors you won’t
know where to start!
Cycling: There is a great cycling network which includes the
Moor to Sea Cycle route linking the coastal resorts of
Whitby, Scarborugh & Pickering (just to the South of the
Moors). You can cycle at your own pace along the scenic 80
mile route stopping off at many of the beautiful towns &
villages along the way.
Horse Riding: If horse riding is more your scene then there
is plenty of that too, with the North York Moors offering
some of the best horse riding terrain in the country. With
over 500 miles of bridleways, cross-country tracks and
several riding schools and trekking centres every level of
horse riding is catered for.
Walking: Not forgetting those who just prefer to keep their
feet on the ground the 1,400 miles of country paths and
tracks make the North York Moors National Park ideal walking
country. If you enjoy long distance walking you will be
spoilt for choice. The Cleveland Way National Trail, Esk
Valley Walk, the Ebor Way, The Inn Way and the Tabular Hills
Walk are just some of our more popular trails.
Fishing: There are some great fishing spots in and around
the Moors including the River Derwent, (known to be one of
the most pristine river systems in the north), and the River
Esk, the principal salmon and sea trout fishery in
Yorkshire. Don’t forget the North York Moors also has a
coastline..which mean great sea fishing too!
Golf: If you enjoy a relaxing round of Golf whilst on
holiday then there are dozens of opportunities to do some
serious golfing in the area with 18 hole and 9 hole courses
available.
Extreme: For the more serious thrill seekers amongst us
there are many opportunities to do something a bit more
exciting, whether it be rock climbing, hang gliding,
abseiling, mountain biking or off roading!
