North Yorkshire moors & coast

Whitby, Robin Hood's Bay, and the heather moors above.

North Yorkshire's coast — the 'Heritage Coast' from Saltburn to Filey — is bookended by the abbey-topped town of Whitby and the smuggler village of Robin Hood's Bay. Inland, the North Yorkshire Moors unfurl with heather, dales and the Esk Valley steam railway. Five days lets you see both halves comfortably.
