6 Rosedale Abbey
Pickering, Y018 8RA
North Yorkshire, UK
Britain is a highly urbanized country.
And Southeastern England is one of the most urbanized places on Planet Earth.
Yet it is easy to forget that the hustle and bustle of urban places in the UK is not exclusive.
We do have quiet places in the countryside where people can still capture and enjoy the majestic solitude and isolation of our sceptered Isle.

The North York Moors is one such quiet, and largely undiscovered corner of this Country that remains pretty much as it always has been.
That is - quiet, serene and isolated - but in a good way.
If you're in the mood to forget the hurly-burly of everyday urban existence, then Rosedale Abbey in the middle of the North York Moors is the place to pencil on your map.
With a small population and an area extending over 600 square miles, the Moors are seldom crowded - even in high summer.
And Rosella Cottage is a lovely and luxurious place to stay for active couples seeking a bit of "me" time.
