Visitor Information

North Yorkshire’s network of information centres offers a warm welcome and a helpful starting point for your visit, whether you are exploring a bustling market town or stepping into one of the county’s breathtaking protected landscapes.

Across the county, our visitor centres vary in size and focus, each one serving the unique character of its location. Some are dedicated to the surrounding landscape, offering expert knowledge on walking routes, local wildlife, scenic viewpoints, and places to eat or stay within National Parks or National Landscapes. Others are rooted in the heart of their towns, with helpful insights on local attractions, events, transport, and the hidden gems that make each community special.

While services may vary — from maps, leaflets, and ticket sales to personal recommendations and seasonal exhibitions — every centre shares the same goal: to help you get the most out of your time in North Yorkshire. Whether you're seeking advice, inspiration, or just a friendly chat, these centres are great places to pause, plan, and discover something new.

Before you head out on your adventure, drop by an information centre — they’re here to point you in the right direction, whatever kind of journey you have in mind.
