Explore Pickering & Beyond

A local’s guide sharing our favourite places, walks, food & days out.

Born and bred in Yorkshire, I have a lifelong connection with this beautiful part of the world. Having grown up exploring the towns, villages, coast and countryside, I know there is so much more to discover beyond the well-known attractions.

The places featured here are those I have personally enjoyed and genuinely recommend to my guests – from favourite cafés and country pubs to scenic walks, family days out and hidden gems.

This is not intended to be an exhaustive guide, and opening times, facilities and communities are always changing, so I recommend checking directly with individual venues before visiting. I’m always discovering new favourites myself, and will continue to update these recommendations as I find them.
