Enjoy outdoors

COVID-19 important message

The National Park has been here waiting for you and now that restrictions are relaxing, when you're ready to return, we'll be delighted to give you a warm welcome. Our car parks and public toilets are open in line with Government guidance.

Public rights of way everywhere are open. When you are outside, you can meet in groups of up to six people from different households but you should social distance from anyone you do not live with or is not part of your support bubble. Even after 4 July, the Government recommends that you keep two metres away from people where possible or one metre when you can mitigate the risk by taking other precautions.

Go for a stroll, surf the waves, climb a cliff, catch a fish, go for a ride, or maybe a paddle, fancy a dip, hit a round, take to the skies - we've loads of ideas for getting active on your North York Moors holiday.

You’ll find everything from walking breaks to watersports, wildlife watching, favourite fishing spots, golf courses, cycle hire and cycling breaks, horse riding and, for rainy days, leisure centres and swimming pools. And for a sunny day, there's even a heated outdoor pool, not to mention the seaside and superb beaches too!

Need more inspiration? Our Great Outdoors Guide is full of ideas for an outdoor break, or take a look at our interactive rights of way map to find where to Walk, Ride and Cycle in the North York Moors National Park.
