Illustrative image

North Yorkshire holds two national parks and a long stretch of North Sea coast. In the Dales you can walk to Malham Cove and Gordale Scar, take on Pen-y-ghent, Ingleborough and Whernside, or watch the water at Aysgarth Falls. On the North York Moors there's Roseberry Topping, Sutton Bank and the Hole of Horcum, and the coast path runs from Whitby through Robin Hood's Bay to Ravenscar and on to Staithes.

Stories include Whitby Abbey and its 199 Steps, Captain Cook's Monument, Rievaulx Abbey and Bolton Priory, York's city walls and the old alum works below Ravenscar.
