Walks

The best website for listing walks is the one the North York Moors authority runs - it is www.northyorkmoors.org.uk - it lists loads of different walks/hikes and gives information as to level of difficulty etc.

Before I moved to North Yorkshire I didn't get why Betty's was so special , it was just a tea room, right. But actually it is pretty amazing place. There are 4 Betty's in Yorkshire. The family won't franchise or expand out of Yorkshire. The baking is incredible but even better the people who work here are really nice and it is a special place to go and have breakfast, lunch, tea or supper.
