Pickering is a very popular, busy historic market town with many attractions locally making it a great base for a holiday. There is easy access to the North York Moors, the NYMR Steam Railway, Dalby Forest, lots of pretty Moors villages and towns, and the East Coast is just a short drive to Whitby, Robin Hood’s Bay, Runswick Bay, Staithes and Scarborough. Pickering has its own Castle, the award winning Beck Isle Museum, and hosts many events throughout the year, including the 1940’s Railway in Wartime Weekend in October.
