Favourite place in North Yorkshire?

[Subbuteo_171]

As we are part of the North Riding what's your favourite location?

I realise Ticker_Tape and others will be annoyed as they are in the primarily Sunderland leaning and Land of the Prince Bishops area, however those of us from the right side of the river - any favourite spots?

Fountains Abbey, Helmsley, Whitby, Malham Cove? Any hidden gems?

Whitby, but more specifically a walk along the beach from Whitby to Sandsend, a couple of pints and lunch, perfect!

Staithes

Not only because of its quaintnes but also because my Nana and Granddad lived there, and I have many happy childhood memories of visiting them.

The Riverside when Boro win.

Im actually from south of the river. And my family built Middlesbrough for £12.7' before Henry Bolock set the place on fire. We left when the Tees froze over in the summer of 62 and skated into Durham. My dad wasnt a prince bishop but helped them out when the police arrived. Favourite place in the North Riding.......anywhere from Redcar to Scarboro,spent my childhood on coast my dad took us to every part of it I still get a buzz driving the moors and then seeing the sea.

So many to choose from. Love Robin Hoods Bay (Bay town?), my great grandparents lived there and had a wee house down in the bay, bought by 'Alf Roberts' of corro fame as a holiday home

I'm often in Pickering as my daughter lives there. Decades ago when I worked for the NYMNP I was part of a group sent to rescue a school party that was stranded by deep snow at Newtondale Halt which is still a spot I like to visit. As I was a photographer I was allowed to ride outside on the front of the train and I'll never forget the ride as we cut through deep virgin snow. You're lucky to have such a great hobby/job.

Teessaurus Park

 

[Redpete]

Waterfall at Beck Hole used to jump into the plunge pool back in the day,then a pint or 2 in the pub.

 

[coluka]

Everywhere is a gem, but I love Swaledale.

Crime ridden Bridlington, dump that it undoubtedly now is, Flamborough Head and Hornsea are not and never have been in the North Riding of Yorkshire.

 

[scuzzmonster]

I'd say Bedale because my Nana and Grandad lived there at the end of their lives so am biased but would probably plump for somewhere coastal like Staithes, Runswick Bay or Whitby eventually. That's the joy of North Yorkshire - so many beautiful spots.
