Pickering

One of the North York Moors oldest towns. I was founded back in 270 BC and has a large variety of independent shops, specialist stores, enticing cafés, old pubs, traditional stores (butcher’s and bakers), galleries and antique stores. For the outdoors enthusiast head to Trailblazer Outdoors to be kitted out with the latest and best hiking equipment and outdoor clothing.  The Monday street market is popular and the Thursday farmers’ markets are good for sourcing of fresh and local produce.

The Talbot Hotel is famed for its food and menu. Visit Malton for its popular gin distillery, cookery school, bakeries, butchers, fisheries and its many lovely coffee shops.

Whitby

Enjoy fish and chips on the harbour wall looking at the fishing boats. But that is not all that Whitby is renowned for. Explore the cobbled old narrow streets and alleys for souvenir shops, and pubs. Pop over River Esk and West Cliff offers different vibe, a more Victorian and Georgian feel. There are lovely boutiques, art galleries, old music shops and delicatessens.

Pretty little village with old craft workshops. Her you will find locally handmade chocolates, blown glass, ceramics, furniture, art, craft and prints.
