Never seen anything as beautiful. Two car parks, about a mile apart, the smaller one is a little harder to get back to as it’s quite a steep walk back up to it, the larger car park about a mile down the road has toilet facilities and an ice cream truck, more accessible for disabled and prams etc. The reservoir itself is out of this world.

Awesome, quiet, beautiful place. Plenty to do if you like the outdoors. I spent my time driving around exploring, took some time off road too. Was lucky to get a dry, bright day in November, its my second trip here and wont be my last.

What a place! From massive hills to small forests, bogs, and seaside. I've travelled North York Moors on my Coast to Coast walk and it was an enjoyable and very memorable experience (apart from the bogs). There is loads to see within the park so I'll have to come back again.

Always something to see & do across the North York Moors whatever you age or interests. Whitby,steeped in history especially mariners & of course,literature as the famous Dracula novel is set here. Also some other beautiful coastal towns such as Staiths & Robin Hoods Bay. Some lovely villages set inland as well. Good food to be found with plenty of places serving good quality & often local produce.

Often a windswept, rain soaked in hospital place, then the sun shines on a beautiful countryside with wild moorlands, deep valleys. Fast flowing rivers winding down to the stunning coast. I love this place.

Lovely area to walk in. Today's walk was the Rosedale railway starting at Blakey Ridge carpark (1 kilometre from Lion Inn) circular walk turning right to start then heading for Rosedale East Cottages then up the hill to the ironworks and kilns. From there, past info boards in a steady climb back to carpark (15kms)

The day we went over the moors the sun was shining and the scenery was breathtaking no pictures can do it justice

Beautiful national park with a great variety of things to do. Like hiking? Well the coastal trails on moorland walks are spectacular, especially when the heather is out. You will spot various birds of prey, numerous butterflies and lots of other wildlife. Archaeology and heritage is also a great draw, from prehistoric standing stones at the Bridestones to the various post medieval industrial heritage, there is plenty to explore. The views of the coast is perhaps my favourite part however, especially if you snag some sunshine. And a short hop off the moor you have some great places to visit like Whitby. Well worth a visit, our national parks are real treasures!

Must visit if you are in York. Its a day trip from the city with a nice scenic drive all the way. Love the every changing scene from farms to heather fields and so on. Many small towns with unique york-style buildings as well

Amazing views, only stopped briefly but will return when it’s warmer! There is a car park just off the main road where there is a coffee trailer. Great for taking in the views whilst sipping a cup of latte! There are I it about 40 parking spaces here though.

Never disappoints. This time had the on board three course meal in the lovely buffet cars. All the fun of a steam railway with really good food and great service. Friendly, efficient and all done while on the move! (maybe they should open a sideline as waiting staff training school). Selection of starters followed by melt in the mouth roast lamb and then dessert ot cheese, all while trundling through lovely Yorkshire countryside. Even got to go on the steam train footplate. Top day out! 👌

Such a lovely loop walk. You can park on either side of the loop and it takes about 3 hours for a leisurely stroll form the cat park to the pub in Leviathan and back. Over the moors you can see Highland cattle and sheep, I've seen many sand lizards and invertebrates and there are also adders in the heathland. Walking down the valley you follow a stream and then walk through the sloped woodland to get to levisham. Some steep areas but suitable for family's and dogs.

Amazing day out on the North York moors! Beautiful walks no matter what direction you go in. Absolutely stunning views and lots of little quirky towns. We saw loads of frogs in the rivers running along the roads and even found some wild garlic growing so took some home and cooked up some pork chips with it, lovely place to take you're family and pet we was all worn out by the end of the afternoon and the drive home when the sun's going down is something everyone should see at least once!

Beautiful scenery we walked the bit by the bank top kilns it really is a great place to go for a long walk as it goes on for miles. Free car park at the beginning however probably only fits about 10 cars and can get quite busy.

Beautiful scenery,breathtaking views,a place to escape,take your time, relax& enjoy.

Absolutely loved the York Moors National Park, so beautiful and relaxing for walks.

Great place for walking, brilliant views and a nice little cafe for refreshments afterwards

Love this place grat for a drive out or some nice walks to be done

Had a great day out with the kids. what a beautiful place to visit the views are spectacular. Amazing countryside , it truly is worth a visit. Lots of good places to eat and drink with stunning views

Lovely nature walk with marked and easy roads. Boardwalk by the lake is completely broken so not accessible for wheelchair. Saw signs for forest work but did not notice any which is good.

How absolutely beautiful, the views are spectacular. If you are looking for peace and quiet along with the most amazing countryside look no further, it truly is worth a visit. Lots of really good places to eat and drink with stunning views.

Wonderful place with amazing walks . I particularly like it in the autumn with the beautiful colours

Terrible! All southerners will hate it: Northern scenery, Northern beer, Northern sheep and people. Definitely go to Cornwall instead ;)

It's a colourful time to visit the North Yorkshire. It's full of heather. Bog cotton is just coming out of season. However we were lucky to see some small clumps here and there. Saw a few grouse flying over and spotted a baby grouse by the roadside too. Spotted two dear as we were coming out of the National Park when we were on A171 driving towards Whitby.

So much to explore your always just a couple of steps away from amazing views

probably one of, if not the best national parks i’ve visited in the UK. incredible scenery & views

Open Moorland. Far reaching views, lovely villages. A chance to take in fresh air and be at one with nature.....

Outstanding/stunning scenery. Plenty of visitor attractions and car parking. Well maintained roads. Love the area. Make sure you have a camera with you.

Love it here. So bleak yet pretty. Commondale is our destination of choice. Always worth a walk up the hill to see Jeremy Corbin too.

Best place to be, outside, no restrictions, no trace and tracking, no masks... Enjoy our country side before we all are taken.

Very beautiful place, we haven't see the whole national park, we just made a small detour from our way to Peterborough while coming from Newcastle, but it's worth going, more beautiful than Peak District!

Never fails to disappoint, beautiful area, stunning views and so peaceful during term time!!

Fantastic. Visit this place. Many ways to engage with the area. Will make an effort to visit at night and look at the stars.

Had the most amazing day on the North York's moors, Rosedale Abbey tea rooms are an absolute must for their home made soup and fresh bread (not to mention a bid for my 30 year old OS map). The views around are outstanding, peaceful and give you a lung full of unspoilt fresh country air and a delightful tranquility of the sheep as they graze happily.

Beautiful scenery in all directions. A great place for a bracing walk.

Tranquil, brilliant walks

Stunning scenery throughout one of the most beautiful of the national parks. It is also one of the quietest and probably deserves to be better known. The landscape is mostly a high moorland plateau, cut through with a series of deep, narrow dales. There aren't many settlements in the centre of the park, just a few small villages and hamlets. The larger villages and towns, such as Helmsley, Pickering, Stokesley and Thirsk are all on the periphery; Robin Hood's Bay and Whitby are the main coastal resorts and very different from the inland towns and villages. Only a couple of main roads run through the park but the minor roads are a great challenge for cyclists, with steep gradients and sharp bends. Beautiful in the spring and summer, with wild flowers everywhere and especially the heather from July to September. There is loads of wildlife too.

One of the most wonderful places for walking I've come across...just fantastic.

It's a beautiful scenic national park with lots of amazing various wildlife. There is always something to do when travelling in and around the national park. Lots of lovely villages to admire too. Great for bird watchers and wild animal lovers. My advise is when visiting please be mindful and DRIVE SLOWLY when driving on the roads up here. Look after the crossing animals and wildlife around... I loved seeing the wildlife and want to keep coming back to see them.

Nice day out......then lockdown happened

A hidden gem shhhh don't tell everyone 😉 set in a peaceful position, 2 miles from the hassle bustle of Scarborough, with all the beauty of East and North Yorkshire coast and surrounding area only a hour from York

Best place on the planet, endless hikes and mtb trails, great for running and the views never get old, endless fields, moors, n hills.

Always a good place to go for a walk. Cafe, toilets, gallery and plenty of parking. Stunning views.

Unreal place great walking 🚶‍♀️ 👏 good time can't complain one bit even in a heat wave bring water

Great facility with toilets, cafe and bike shop that offers bike hire to get out and enjoy the best view in Yorkshire. New addition of a pump track adds to what is on offer. Great place for a family day out

Great views I went on a bike 🚲 ride to the man statue it is a nice colour if was beautiful my kids said wow daddy and mammy this is big we all loved it even the kids well they cheated and used there motor bike but that is the fun off it I will definitely tell people to go and see the fascinating posing statue it is brilliant just so every one noes I did this in the August when covid was slowing down but well it was a holiday at the scouts site which is 16 pound a night will tell my best mates

Great views, on the snow cover looks amazing ❄️😎

A beautiful open space to get away from it all. Gods own country.

Quiet, well tarmacked roads that are great for cycling. Rosedale Chimney well worth the challenge.

NYMN Park is a wonderful wild rugged area with lots of walks, cycle routes and beautiful scenery.

A good place to be whether cycling walking or just chilling, its vast so you can get away from everyone for a bit of peace and take in the nature.

very moorish....

God's own country... wonderful

Was on the bus to Whitby. 2016/08.

Stunning views and much needed fresh air away from the hustle and bustle of daily life 👌

Such a beautiful place and so much wildlife! I lost count of the number of different bird species I saw!

Went to use the toilets when we were there last and found barriers across the toilet doors. Several people tried to use them and were also disappointed

My favourite place on earth

A great place to get some self time...plenty of space to get away from it all with wonderful views come rain or shine..i never tire of this place.

Gorgeous part of our country

Normally given more stars for it staff spacious ,pleasant store to come to .there is cueing outside , and I expected to wait but didn't expect to wait so long just waiting to pay hardly any tills on , didnt help my unsteady legs due to disability , I waited patiently for over 25 mins in a cue of 3 . I was also wearing the disability green , daisy lanyard .

Loved it such a fabulous day out, would recommend it to anyone, we are so lucky to have such a wonderful place to visit 🙂

Stunning scenery with picturesque villages and friendly locals. Some of the best scenery in the uk in my opinion. This area is beautiful so if your one of the many idiots who think it’s ok to litter then please don’t visit, your not welcome.

Nearly well kept.

A lovely place but creeping infection of overkill with road signs.

Lovely place

Fantastic

Stunning. Serene and beautiful

The name says it all awsome walks scenery and places

Fantastic part of the country.

Absolutely brilliant day out , can check out my video collection on the area on YouTube @ Matt travelz for more amazing views 🤙
