5.00This is a wonderful, fun introduction to the North York Moors National Park. This is one of two tours I took this week with Mountain Goat; John was our guide on this one, and he was charming and highly informative just like his colleague Barry (with whom I went on the Dales tour the day before). Many sheep were viewed, fascinating, ancient abbeys were visited; and much information both historical and scientific was shared. The only improvement I could suggest would be more time in the moors themselves and less on the train and in Whitby, although the latter is certainly a very nice town. Overall, I would highly recommend this tour, and any other done by Mountain Goat, for any visitor to the area.
Lovely journey around...
