Best Village on the North York Moors...

April Cottage is at the centre of the beautiful village of Lastingham, in the North York Moors National Park.  As well as being a great base for walks and drives in the Park, the village is also ideally located for visiting such local attractions as the North York Moors Steam Railway, Ryedale Folk Museum, Castle Howard and 'Heartbeat Country'.  Close by are the pretty market towns of Helmsley and Pickering, with their ancient monuments and stately homes.  The City of York , Whitby and Scarborough are all less than an hour's drive away.

Less than 5 minutes walk from April Cottage are The Blacksmiths Arms and The Grange Country House Hotel, both of which serve excellent lunches and evening meals, so you can choose to enjoy your evening without the need to drive.
