With Helmsley and Pickering just across the North York Moors National Park, Kirkbymoorside is a lovely historic market town. It’s a wonderful spot, bursting with quintessential Yorkshire charm, and the hub of all the surrounding farms and hamlets. There are a range of establishments to choose from, including tea houses, taverns, and restaurants, as well as an antiques market on Wednesday. Hutton-le-Hole and Lastingham, two of the most beautiful settlements in the Yorkshire Dales, are just a short drive apart. Pickering is home to the North York Moors Steam Railway, a must-see attraction for anybody visiting the region. All of these destinations are within a few hours’ drive of one other.
