Details for Skinningrove Cottage Ref 3719

Location: The quiet former fishing village of Skinningrove is situated on the Cleveland Way and is a collection of delightful cottages by a sandy beach. The village is home to a store and a public house. Skinningrove has a history of Ironstone mining and there is a museum in the area that tells the story of this industry and its influence on the village. The town of Saltburn is only six miles away and has kept much of its Victorian charm and character, including its pier, the colourful Italian Gardens and the oldest water balanced cliff tramway in Britain. Skinningrove is well placed to visit the many attractions in this region including the Abbey and harbour at Whitby and the dramatic North York Moors National Park, making it a great base for a holiday.

The North York Moors National Park covers 554 square miles, with landscape ranging from heather-clad moorland and deep secluded dales, to the cliffs and coves of the magnificent coastline. A haven for walkers, the area also boasts great cycling, gliding, riding and fishing, whilst the North York Moors Railway is the perfect way to enjoy the beautiful scenery in a more relaxed setting. Visit the traditional market towns of Pickering or Thirsk, stop off at Castle Howard and Duncombe Park, two of Britain's most historic stately homes. Discover the quaint fishing villages of Robin Hood's Bay and Staithes, with their winding cobbled streets and brightly coloured fishing boats. Finally, there's the historic city of York, with its interactive Viking Centre, Roman walls, medieval streets, vibrant shops and gothic York Minster cathedral.
