Enjoy outdoors

COVID-19 important message

Public Rights of Way remain open, but we ask you to follow Government advice: stay at home, avoid unnecessary travel and observe social distancing guidelines. Please do not travel into or around the National Park to carry out daily exercise; stay near home. Travel for exercise is classed as non-essential.

All Authority car parks, public toilets and National Park Centres are closed.

The stunning National Park will be here waiting for you to enjoy when it is safe to do so and we look forward to welcoming you back then.

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.

If you are considering running an organised event in the National Park, we’d be pleased to discuss it with you and provide advice.
