Riding High

North Yorkshire invites you to ride, climb and see the county from new angles.

Ride through the landscape on a heritage railway, catch a wave along the coast, explore on horseback, or cycle through National Parks, forests and miles of open country where the routes are almost endless. When it’s time to look up, the county delivers in bigger ways: tackle Yorkshire’s only via ferrata, abseil or zip‑line for a proper adrenaline rush, take to the skies in a light aircraft, or simply climb high enough to earn a drink at Britain’s highest pub and soak up spectacular scenery. From laid‑back journeys to pulse‑raising experiences, North Yorkshire gives you space to move, push your limits and see things from a whole new perspective.
