As well as the wild moorland walking country of the North York Moors, the District of Ryedale and the Yorkshire Wolds to the south-east of Pickering, there lots of lovely towns and villages to visit in these areas, many having particular attractions for tourists-visitors. There is no shortage of accommodation from bed and breakfast, holiday cottages, hostels and hotels etc. Three such interesting villages are described by a few token photographs which I hope will encourage and enthuse you to visit them. I feel lucky to live in this are of outstanding natural beauty and can go out walking/motoring with a digital camera to happily explore and record in images-pictures what I see, but all is best scene 'live'.
