Hiking
The pretty hillside village of Glaisdale is nestled in the Esk Valley of the North York Moors. The village grew to prominence in the 19th century, when Victorian Ironstone was mined in the surrounding hills. Its slate-roofed terraces are characteristic of the wider region.
There are a few places to stay in the village and there is superb hiking on the surrounding moors. The village has a train station on the Esk Valley Line and is also on the Esk Valley Walk, a long-distance footpath that journeys alongside the river from source to sea.
