Location: The charming village of Sleights is perfect for both coastal holidays and countryside sojourns. It is on the edge of dramatic moors and close to the beautiful Yorkshire coastline. Sleights has two public houses, a fish and chip shop, post office, butchers, bakery and an antique shop with a café. The terminus of The North Yorkshire Steam Railway is a few minutes drive from Sleights and there is regular public transport to nearby Whitby. The town of Whitby has a fascinating history, with its spectacular Abbey and the famous 199 steps that lead up to it. The sandy beaches are safe and the harbour is always worth visiting. Sleights offers the holiday maker a wonderful base to get to know this area and take advantage of the many attractions it offers.

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.
