A diesel-steam railway trip to Grosmont and back 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'.
