The Cleveland Way walking trail connects them all, boasting the most incredible views. Inland there is the North York Moors National Park, with walking trails over the moorland and through ancient forests, with quaint villages and welcoming rural pubs awaiting you. If you are fascinated by history, visit Guisborough Priory and Whitby Abbey, as well as museums including Staithes Heritage Museum and Whitby’s Captain Cook Museum.
