North York Moors and the Yorkshire Coast

Want your business event to be extra special? Somewhere your guests can enjoy a unique experience? Come to the North York Moors and Yorkshire Coast.
 
Few areas offer such diverse pleasures as this one. From the stretching sands of Scarborough to the storm-tossed Heritage Coast, from bustling market towns to the empty skyscapes of the moors, your delegates will discover a wealth of opportunity to make the most of their stay. Take a gentle ramble in the pristine landscape of the North York Moors - it’s the very best way to explore the Yorkshire countryside. There’s nothing like an outdoor adventure for building team spirit, and East Barnby Outdoor Activity Centre near Whitby offers a whole raft of challenging opportunities such as kayaking, surfing and climbing. Golfers will be in seventh heaven at Scarborough’s Ganton Golf Club - one of the finest championship courses in England and famed for its fearsome bunkers.
 
If your guests prefer driving powerful cars to driving golf balls, the Langdale Quest 4x4 driving site in Scarborough is for them - 10,000 acres of forest land to skid, slide and power through in one of over 70 souped-up vehicles.
 
There’s no finer way to round off an afternoon in the fresh air than a mouthwatering meal, and this area boasts a superb choice of award-winning restaurants. That includes the Michelin-starred The Star Inn at Harome which was named Egon Ronay Gastro Pub of The Year 2006. Another celebrated eatery is the Crab and Lobster near Thirsk with its legendary seafood dishes. If you’re hungry for culture, your group will find a trip to the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough a satisfying evening where they can often catch an Alan Ayckbourn premier. Finally, return to a luxury hotel such as the Feversham Arms in Helmsley or Pickering’s White Swan and Forest & Vale Hotel for a delightful blend of formal elegance and Yorkshire charm.
