The North York Moors Private Tours

Heather moorland runs almost to the sea here, turning purple in late summer. Whitby stands where the River Esk meets the North Sea, its ruined clifftop abbey the setting Bram Stoker borrowed for Dracula, and the harbour still lands the fish for the town’s fish and chips. Inland, the North Yorkshire Moors Railway runs steam trains through Goathland, Aidensfield in Heartbeat and Hogsmeade in the Harry Potter films, with a restored Pullman dining carriage.
