Whitby is just a short walk or drive away where you will be able to meander in the cobbled streets of the old town, climb the 99 steps to the abbey or stroll along the piers that lead to the entrance to the port.

The North Yorkshire Moors are within easy reach and have been a National Park for the last 50 years with over 2000km of paths and tracks. The North Yorkshire Moors Railway travels the 18 miles from Grosmont to Pickering with a station in Goathland more famously know as Aidensfield in the TV series Heartbeat.

The cottages are also conveniently located close to the other coastal villages of Robin Hoods Bay, Staithes and Runswick Bay. There are several outstanding walks virtually on the doorstep including the old railway line between Whitby and Scarborough and the planned Esk Valley footpath which will link the site itself to the centre of Whitby providing a delightful alternative way of reaching the town.

Scarborough, Pickering and Teeside are all within about 1 hours's drive, whilst York, Leeds and Newcastle are all within 2 hour's drive.
