The historic fishing village of Whitby, with its magnificent beach, safe bathing and varied holiday pastimes, is situated in a prime position on the North Yorkshire Coast. Just inland is the beautiful North Yorks Moors National Park, the perimeter of which is easily accessible from a network of major roads. However, once within the Parks 550 square miles of dales, forests and wild moorland, which rises to a plateau height of 1000ft., there is a magical air of peace, quietness and solitude.
In cultivated valleys, small streams meander to meet the Esk through tiny hamlets. To the nature lover, the moor and coast offer a spectacle of scenic views, secluded picnic spots and a variety of nature trails for observation of plant life, birds and animals. The rugged coastline provides a fascinating panorama of small sandy coves, interspersed with the sea cliffs which rise some 600ft. to meet the moorland.
