The Moors
The North York Moors is one of our most treasured landscapes. Rolling heather moorlands, picturesque dales and a rugged coast make it an ideal place to escape from the pressures of modern life. But with so many visitors flooding here each year, it is important that we protect this landscape which we enjoy so much.

The North York Moors is a National Park, one of just 8 such protected landscapes in England. The National Park’s job is to conserve the special features of the area and to help people enjoy and understand them.

Few places have such a variety of things to see and do. The open moors offer a freedom and solitude that is rare in today’s crowded planet. Descending into the sheltered dales is like entering another world of winding streams and deep woodlands.

The coast too has many special qualities: high, windswept cliffs, secluded fishing villages, sea birds roaming effortlessly on the wind…
