Questions about hiking and dating in the North York Moors
Where are the best bases for walking in the North York Moors?
Pickering, Whitby, Helmsley and Osmotherley are all well-known bases. Whitby is good for the coast, while the others are closer to the moors.
What is the Cleveland Way?
It is a National Trail that runs through the North York Moors and along the coast. You can walk short sections of it on a day out.
What should I know before walking on the moors?
Paths can be open and exposed, so check the weather and pack a waterproof. Wear sensible footwear too, as moorland can be boggy after rain.
What should I do before a first walk date?
Keep your first walk short and on a well-known route, tell a friend where you are going, and check the weather and conditions before you set off. Sensible footwear makes it far more fun.
