Tips

March 22, 2021

Hiking

The village of Castleton on the River Esk is a great base from which to explore the beautiful North York Moors National Park. It is the start point for the Esk Valley Walk long-distance trail, which ends in Whitby.

It has a station on the Esk Valley Line between Middlesborough and Whitby and is also host to a number of amenities. There's a small supermarket for stocking up on supplies and a couple of pubs that serve excellent food. The Downe Arms has bed and breakfast rooms and there are a few other private rental options in the village.

Hiking

Useful landmark village with numerous routeing options and a useful supermarket for resupplying if you need to, but generally not quite as inspiring as Danby and Lealholm to the east, the latter of which is very picturesque.

Running

Castleton is a lovely village with great views of the surrounding moorland right from its Main Street. It's a great place to stop for some food (the village has both a supermarket and a number of cafés and tearooms) and, just outside the village, there is a train station, too, so getting here without a car is perfectly possible as well.
