The old market town of Pickering serves as the official entry to the picturesque North York Moors National Park, home to the Heartbeat countryside, with its complete range of services and traditional shops, cafes, pubs, and restaurants. Take a ride on the North Yorkshire Moors Steam Railway, where Harry Potter fans can see some of the locations where The Philosopher’s Stone was filmed! The Beck Isle Museum, with its unusual collection of black and white photos and displays of rural life, is also well worth a visit.
