Local Attractions
Things to do at Jamie’s Cragg
The beauty of Jamie’s Cragg is that so many different attractions are just minutes away – you are no more than 3 or 4 miles from enjoying Castle Howard, Eden Camp, or the picturesque town of Malton. Here are a few more examples of the things you can do a little further afield.
York
A great starting point. The north’s spiritual capital for 2000 years, York is central to Britain’s colourful history. Visit the stunning York Minster, enjoy Stonegate and Shambles shopping and live the history at Yorvik, the National Railway Museum and Clifford’s Tower.
The North Yorkshire Moors
To the north and east of the ancient walled City of York, the North Yorkshire Moors cover a broad area stretching from the Vale of York and the Vale of Mowbray across to the Yorkshire Coast. A large part of this area has been designated as one of England’s national parks.
Popular destinations in and around the North Yorkshire Moors include Helmsley, Pickering, Ryedale, Rosedale, Rievaulx Abbey, Mount Grace Priory, Hutton–le–Hole and Goathland (famous as the location for the filming of the popular TV series “Heartbeat”).
The North Yorkshire Moors Railway provides some 18 miles of preserved steam railway running through the spectacular scenery of the North Yorkshire Moors.
The Yorkshire Coast
Running along the northern edge of the North Yorkshire Moors are the Cleveland Hills, while to the east is the Yorkshire Coast. Flamborough Head is one of the most prominent, engaging and spectacular features on the East Coast of England, famed for the nearby popular seaside resorts of Scarborough, Filey and Whitby.
Whitby Abbey
Whitby Abbey’s gaunt and moving remains have associations as diverse as Victorian jewellery, whaling and Count Dracula. Those who choose to approach the Abbey – up the 199 steps from Whitby town – know the meaning of dedication!
Over the centuries the headland has been an inspiration to all sorts of people, for very different reasons. Anglo Saxon saints and kings are buried on it, medieval monks built their abbey here, the flamboyant Cholmley family came to own it, and two Victorians made it famous world wide: Bram Stoker with his Dracula, and Frank Meadow Sutcliffe with countless black and white photographs.
