North York Moors Nationalpark Highlights

North York Moors National Park Essentials

The North York Moors National Park encompasses expansive heather moorland and dramatic Jurassic coastline. This selection features 12th-century Cistercian ruins at Rievaulx Abbey, the 7th-century Whitby Abbey, and the 314-foot White Horse of Kilburn geoglyph. Coastal highlights include the steep, narrow streets of Robin Hood's Bay and the 199 Steps. The park also hosts the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, with Goathland Station serving as a preserved example of steam-era architecture, while natural features like Mallyan Spout and the daffodil-filled Farndale valley define the landscape's interior.
