Getting there

Planes

Leeds Bradford International Airport (www.leedsbradfordairport.co.uk) | Durham Tees Valley Airport (www.durhamteesvalleyairport.com) and Newcastle International Airport (www.newcastleairport.com) are dotted around the region's edges.

Trains

The National Express East Coast train (www.nationalexpresseastcoast.com) from London King's Cross to York takes a little over two hours. Northern Rail Lines (www.northernrail.org) can take you from York into the North Yorkshire Moors or the Yorkshire Dales.

Automobiles

Cars are essential if you want to explore North Yorkshire properly. The remoteness of its attractions and beauty spots are the area’s main selling point | and you don’t want to be relying on public transport to get around.
