North York Moors (West)

The Cleveland Way National Trail sets off here in the western reaches of the North York Moors, and passes through this dramatic locality that features glorious countryside, as well as Castle Howard – one of the finest stately homes in the country. Sir John Vanbrugh’s masterpiece was the true star of the BBC’s celebrated adaptation of Brideshead Revisited. There are two ancient abbeys at Rievlaux and Byland, and the massive White Horse hill carving at Kilburn is another popular sight.
