North Yorkshire Moors Travel Information

Travelling to the North Yorkshire Moors National Park is relatively straight forward by road, rail, boat, plane or train.

The North Yorkshire Moors are located in the county of North Yorkshire, in northern England, and is easily accessible by train, plane, coach, bus, ferry, or car. The paragraphs below highlight a few key ways of arranging your travel and estimated journey times.

By Rail
The UK has an excellent rail network including both an east coast and west coast main line rail service running from southern England to Edinburgh and Glasgow. Most major towns, cities, airports and ferry ports are connected to the rail network. The nearest main line station to the Yorkshire Moors is York Generally the rail service runs very efficiently with the majority of trains running on time. But visitors need to be aware that engineering work can disrupt timetables, especially on Sundays and national (bank) holidays. Also not all trains have dining facilities – so check before you travel. It is also advisable to reserve seats in advance as many trains can get very full.
