Facilities and additional information
Opened in 1997, this new National Park Centre provides a gateway to the North York Moors, welcoming around 130,000 visitors each year. It provides opportunities for people to gain a greater understanding of the North York Moors through its successful hands-on Window on the Park exhibition, a well stocked bookshop and countryside trails.A series of special events take place throughout the year: temporary art and craft exhibitions and demonstrations, children s activities, and discovery walks with National Park Rangers and specialist Park staff.Situated near the edge of the Whitestoncliffe escarpment, there are a number of excellent short walks from the Centre, with spectacular views over the Vale of York to the Pennines. Six of the Best...across the Moors and Six of the Best...along the Coast, two waterproof packs of circular walks from the Cleveland Way are available from the Centre and one of the most beautiful walks starts from here.
