NORTH YORKSHIRE IS THE PERFECT DESTINATION FOR A NATURE-BASED BREAK!

North Yorkshire offers a plethora of nature-based holiday options for you to enjoy. Here are some activities and destinations you might consider:

Explore the North York Moors National Park: This expansive park offers breathtaking landscapes, including heather-covered moorland, ancient woodlands, and charming villages. You can go hiking, cycling, or horseback riding on the numerous trails, visit the iconic ruins of Rievaulx Abbey, or take a scenic steam train ride on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway.

Discover the coastal beauty: North Yorkshire boasts stunning coastal areas, such as Whitby, Scarborough, and Robin Hood’s Bay. Take leisurely walks along the beaches, explore the dramatic cliffs and rock formations, and indulge in fresh seafood. Whitby Abbey, perched on a headland, offers fantastic views of the town and coastline.

Take a trip to the historic city of York: While not strictly a nature-based destination, York combines rich history with beautiful green spaces. Explore the ancient city walls, visit the York Museum Gardens, stroll along the River Ouse, and take a boat trip to enjoy the city’s charm alongside its natural elements. Hiking and Trekking: Plan a hiking or trekking trip in scenic locations. Popular trails include the Cleveland Way, Lyke Wake Walk, and Roseberry Topping.

Coastal Getaways: Explore coastal areas with stunning natural landscapes. Consider destinations such as Robin Hood’s Bay, a charming coastal village located just a few miles south of Whitby. Robin Hood’s Bay offers stunning views and a network of coastal paths. You can hike along the Cleveland Way, which passes through the village and provides breathtaking vistas of the rugged coastline. Staithes and Runswick Bay are also great options. These quaint fishing villages are located north of Whitby and offer scenic hiking opportunities.

Eco-lodges and Retreats: Stay at eco-lodges or ecofriendly resorts that offer immersive experiences in nature. These accommodations often emphasise sustainability and provide access to outdoor activities like hiking, kayaking, or wildlife observation. One such place is Serenity Camping at Hinderwell which offers a more rustic and eco-friendly camping experience, including glamping pods and traditional camping pitches. The site promotes sustainable practices and provides amenities such as compost toilets and recycling facilities.

Camping and Glamping: Plan a camping trip to enjoy the beauty of nature up close. Alternatively, if you prefer more comfort, consider “glamping” (glamorous camping) options that provide luxurious tents or cabins in scenic locations.

Nature Retreats and Meditation: Opt for a nature retreat or meditation centre nestled in serene natural settings. These retreats offer an opportunity to disconnect from the busy world and connect with nature while rejuvenating your mind and body. The Tree Relaxation Retreat located just outside the village of Rosedale Abbeyprovides a peaceful environment surrounded by woodland and scenic beauty. They offer various retreats and meditation programs, including mindfulness, yoga, and relaxation sessions.
