Capital of Cake

• With baking traditions, tight-lipped generational secrets and skilled bakers, the North York Moors is home to some of the best local bakes and classic cakes.

Discover teashops in tranquil villages, local produce from working farms and walled gardens, afternoon tea overlooking the coast or at historic abbeys, hotels, delis, cafés and bakeries - all put cake on the centre stage in the North York Moors.
