Self Catering Holiday Cottages in The North York Moors

The North York Moors are an enchanting area which cover 554 square miles of land and feature the largest expanse of heather moorland in England. In summer and autumn the ground becomes a sea of purple and is a truly beautiful site to behold.
It’s not just these times when the area is worth visiting though, with year round attractions, panoramic views and stunning river valleys. It stretches from Helmsley up to Saltburn and from Whitby across to the Tees valley, packed with flourishing forests and woodland.
Whether you choose to visit the many rivers that wind through the moorland, hop on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway for a ride around the area made famous by the TV show ‘Heartbeat’, or just explore the many bustling towns and villages you won’t be disappointed.
There are many fantastic towns dotted amongst the National Park, with Harrogate, Knaresborough and Whitby amongst the many popular spots to stop off. These and the many other towns are all worthy of a visit and all offer a great gateway into the rolling hills. Pickering, Byland and Thirsk are also great bases to set out into the carpets of heather that cover the area.
