Things To Do
Robin Hood's Bay
One of the most picturesque coastal towns in the UK. Definitely one for the 'gram! Famous for being an old smugglers haunt, walk around the narrow, cobbled lanes, pop into the pubs and try to find an ancient fossil on the beach.
York
Founded by the Romans, trading centre for the Vikings, inspiration for Harry Potter, and a great spot for afternoon tea.
North York Moors National Park
Lots of walking, lots of hiking, lots of cycling, lots of stargazing and lots of small quaint villages.
Whitby
Closest town to the venue. Home to the best fish & chips in the world, Captain Cook and 13th century abbey ruins (inspiration for Dracula).
Staithes
Another picturesque seaside village, fyi, there's a few of these.
Rievaulx Abbey
12th Century monastery ruins.
North York Moors Railway
Travel through charming villages between Pickering & Whitby on this 180 year-old railway line. Made famous by Harry Potter for portraying Hogsmeade Station.
Falling Foss Tea Garden / Beck Hole
Pleasant woodland walk that ends at Falling Foss, a 30 foot waterfall. A tea room serving fresh scones is conveniently located at the bottom of the waterfall.
