Out & About

Enjoying the Howardian Hills

Nestled between the historic city of York and the heather moorlands of the North York Moors National Park, the rolling wooded hills, picturesque river valleys and historic estates of the Howardian Hills together create a unique landscape perfect for exploring, whether by car, cycle, on foot or on horseback.

And when it’s time to take a break and refuel, there’s always an excellent restaurant, pub, cafe or teashop nearby offering delicious food and drink. For longer stays there are hotels, B&Bs, cottages and campsites providing the very warmest Yorkshire hospitality.
