Tips from locals
A smallish castle at the top of the town of Pickering but well worth a visit especially if combined with Helmsley castle and Rievaulx Abbey as they are all situated along the A170.
If you fancy a day out, then a bus, car or even steam train will take you to Pickering, which is a delightful market town, but also has an English heritage castle.
Set in the attractive Moors-edge market town of Pickering; discover how this splendid 13th century castle was used throughout the centuries. This tourist attraction in the heart of the North York Moors National Park has been a royal hunting lodge, holiday home and a stud farm by a succession of medieval kings.
