"North Yorkshire National Park" Top 5 Page for this destination Middlesbrough Things to Do Tip by cheekymarieh

The National Park stretches from the southern suburbs of Middlesbrough out to the East Coast and almost to York.

There is some spectacular scenery on the Moors and if you time it correctly in summer then you will see the beautiful purple heather in bloom. As well as the flora, there is also the spectacular coastal views. There are some of the highest cliffs around Boulby up towards Saltburn.

Some of my personal favourite spots within the National Park include:

Staithes ( it is quite a hike down to the harbour but well worth the effort). It is a quaint little fishing village.

Helmsley and the nearby gothic Rievaulx Abbey.

Whitby - see my page on Whitby for further details.

There are many signposted hikes for the more energetic including the Cleveland Way. All walks within the area are well signposted.
