High Langdale Hideaway

Outdoorsy types, you’re right on the Moors to Sea Cycle Network here, and you can get up to all sorts of walking adventures – climb up to Hole of Horcum (half an hour’s drive, or walk there via Lilla Cross) for glorious views over the moors, or go in search of the Roman remains at Cawthorn Roman Camp (50 minutes). If you’re after something a bit more extreme, the zip wires and rope courses at Go Ape Dalby (half an hour) will keep your fitness levels sky high. How about making an historic train journey across the moors? Jump on the North Yorkshire Steam Railway at Pickering (40 minutes) and chug to Goathland (45 minutes), where you can see film locations from the Harry Potter films and lunch in cosy pubs. Fancy a change of pace with a day at the seaside? Scarborough (25 minutes) has lots of old-fashioned fun on two sandy beaches, while at Whitby (40 minutes) you can climb up to the Gothic abbey, shop for local jet jewellery, and pick up fish and chips around the harbour.
