As well as the wild moorland walking country of the North Yorkshire Moors, there lots of lovely towns and villages in Ryedale and the Yorkshire Wolds to visit, 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'!

*  Lastingham, Hutton-le-Hole, Appleton-le-Moors and nearby Rosedale in the North York Moors National park, are both lovely attractive villages and therefore significant tourist attractions but there are many lovely quiet walks in the surrounding countryside and villages to explore for the visitor to the North Yorkshire region to enjoy.  *
