Overview

The North Yorks Moors offers visitors a variety of widely differing landscape. At its heart lies miles of unenclosed beautiful heather moorland, home to many rare species of flora and fauna, with much of it recognised as a Site of Special Scientific Interest. On the slopes of the hills and in the valleys there are large woods and forests, including areas of important ancient woodland, cut through with the crystal clear waters of the rivers Esk, Derwent and Swale. On the eastern edge of the park are the high sea cliffs and rocky shores of the North Yorkshire and Cleveland Heritage Coast. With over 1,400 miles of paths and track to choose from in the park there are plenty of choices for walkers and cyclists alike to explore this beautiful landscape.
