Cleveland Way National Trail The Cleveland Way is a walk of contrasts. For most of its route it runs through the wild beauty of the North York Moors National Park. Reminders of a colourful past abound along the trail, from the remains of the marvellous Cistercian abbey at Rievaulx to the ruins of Roman signaling stations that dot the coastline.

Flamborough Headland Heritage Coast One of the most impressive areas of chalk cliffs in England, Flamborough Headland rises to a height of some 400 feet. The white chalk is overlaid by clay, creating an unusual variety of plant and wildlife species. Yorkshire, England,

North York Moors National Park The smallest of the National Parks, the North York Moors comprise a high plateau bounded on the north by the Plain of Cleveland and on the south by the vales of Pickering and York. Yorkshire, England, Website: North York Moors National Park

Spurn Head Heritage Coast The heritage coast consists of a long, curving hook of shingle and sand arcing into the mouth of the Humber River. The coast is a stopover point for thousands of migrating birds in the spring and autumn, and a special observatory has been set up to allow bird-lovers to monitor their feathered friends. Yorkshire, England,

Wolds Way National Trail A curving route around and across the Yorkshire Wolds via Market Weighton, linking the North Sea to the Humber. The path follows the crest of the chalk escarpment overlooking the Vales of York and Pickering. The landscape is dominated by farming and grazing fields separated by long, straight hedgerows and lanes. Yorkshire, England, Website: Wolds Way National Trail

Yorkshire Dales National Park The sheep is the symbol of Yorkshire Dales National Park, and for good reason. This is sheep country, and the open fields are criss-crossed by patterns of dry stone walls marking the field boundaries. Small villages and farms cling to the sides of valleys and river banks, and the high ridge of the Pennine Range looms over the landscape. Yorkshire, England, Website: Yorkshire Dales National Park
