Invigorating

Whatever pace you like your holiday the Yorkshire Moors and Coast has something for everyone. A place for all seasons, it provides the perfect tonic to the hum drum of everyday modern living.

If walking is your passion you'll be spoilt for choice with thousands of miles of paths and tracks to choose from as well as two long distance National Trails - The Cleveland Way and the Yorkshire Wolds Way. There is also a superb network of cycle paths and bridleways.

The sea itself offers the chance to see the varied coastline from a different perspective, be it from a sailboat, surfboard or on board one of the many boats that offer fishing trips, leisure cruises or visits to a local seal colony.

Those seeking more of a challenge, should try out one of the all-weather mountain bike trails in Dalby Forest that range from easy to the seriously challenging ‘black run'! Or why not take to the skies in a glider or whiz through the trees on a high wire adventure course of rope bridges, swings and zip slides.

Children can get up close to a host of creatures from cute and cuddly to weird and wonderful at falconries, farms, sea life centres and zoos. There are also plenty of gardens and playgrounds where they can stretch both mind and body.

After a full day out and about, head to one of the area's many theatres, concert halls and venues for some live music, comedy or drama.
