Self Catering Holiday Cottages in The North York Moors
You will never be bored on a cottage holiday in the North York Moors.
If it's peace and solitude you're after, it's possible to walk on some of the hundreds of footpaths which cross the moors and never see another soul or take one of the guided walks organised by the National Park Centres. As an alternative, travel on the steam railway which meanders along the valley with exploration stops along the way.
You will find at most holiday cottages in the North York Moors that the owners will leave attraction leaflets and guide books for you to view when you’re there.
The area is home to impressive ruined abbeys and castles as well as magnificent stately homes and country houses. Rievaulx and Byland Abbeys, Mount Grace Priory, Duncombe Park, Helmsley and Pickering Castles are probably some of the best known and all are visitor friendly.
Goathland is also known as Aidensfield in YTV’s Heartbeat and as the bewitching Hogsmeade in the first Harry Potter Film. For 'Heartbeat' fans this is paradise with all the familiar scenery appearing round every corner an opportunity not to be missed.
In complete contrast, the Vale of York is a wide, flat, fertile plain dotted with farming communities. The ancient walled city of York is a veritable treasure trove of attractions to suit all ages. The ultimate jewel in the crown is of course the breathtakingly beautiful Gothic Minster.
