* Pickering in Ryedale, close to the North York Moors, is a lovely friendly town and home to the start of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, a major tourist attraction. There are lots of other villages also worth visiting with good walking or pleasant car driving in between them, as well as the many old churches and other historic buildings for the visitor to explore. * * page updated July 21st 2007 * EMAIL Phil Brown * images-photographs-pictures © Dr W P Brown * |
