Pickering is at the centre of Ryedale, in North Yorkshire. It's
the mid-point between four major Yorkshire towns Scarborough,
Whitby,
Helmsley and Malton
. Beyond Malton is the historic city of
York, and
beyond Helmsley is Thirsk, further to the coast from Pickering is Filey,
Flamborough
and Bridlington
. Scarborough and Whitby are two very pleasant seaside towns and great places for days out. |

Pickering is well known as the southern terminus of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway
and 'Gateway to the Moors'. It is reputed to be one of the
oldest towns in the area dating back to 270BC when founded by
Peredurus - King of the Brigantes. The skyline of
Pickering is
dominated by the magnificent spire of the Church of St Peter and St
Paul of Pickering, which contains some remarkable 15th century murals.
Whilst hidden high above the town, the ruins of Pickering Castle
harbour a rich royal history.
