Yorkshire Coast Glamping

First stop is the beach. The pebble cove at Hayburn Wyke is a 25-minute walk away. Second stop is probably going to be the North Yorkshire Moors National Park (10 minutes’ drive) for walks around the ruins of Rievaulx Abbey (one hour 10 minutes) or mountain biking through pine woods from Dalby Forest Visitors Centre (40 minutes). Build a trip to Scarborough (15 minutes) into the schedule too. Britain’s first-ever seaside resort is an old-fashioned sort of place, with donkey rides, amusement arcades and souvenir stalls selling sticks of rock. The kids can run around on two sandy beaches and there’s a well-stocked fishing lake at Oliver’s Mount, overlooking the town. Whitby (25 minutes) is another must-see town, with fish and chips shops and a buzzy harbour. And this part of North Yorkshire is peppered with other sights too – think Flamborough Headland Heritage Coast (50 minutes) with its nesting birds, tours of an historic country pile at Sewerby Hall and Gardens (50 minutes) – and Flamingo Land Resort (45 minutes) for thrill rides and happy kids.
