Something in the Water?

I've always thought that there must be something in the water around here.

Something that has inspired monks to build majestic abbeys amid the solitude of the North York Moors.

Something that has drawn miners to tap seams of Iron, Alum and Jet from the North Yorkshire rock below our feet.

Something that has fostered the artistic urges of painters and photographers, sculptors and artisans down through the ages.

Painters and Artists Are Drawn to the North York Moors.

And something that has nurtured the desire to explore - whether it be Captain James Cook in the Pacific or the Scoresby's around the Arctic.

The local destinctiveness of North Yorkshire and its people has left a unique legacy for us to enjoy today.

From ancient pre-history to contemporary times; all around Rosedale Abbey is a network of attractions that add absorbing human interest to the natural beauty of the North York Moors and Yorkshire Heritage Coastline.

Any holidaymaker today will discover the ruins of monastic Abbies and Medieval Castles.

You'll discover ancient standing stones and stone circles.

There are also galleries and workshops; evocative museums; and Stately homes.

There are just such diverse aspects to the North York Moors and the Coast that make the region such a unique area to visit.
