We know that you want to enjoy the local attractions with your favourite four-legged pals so here is 5 of the best dog friendly attractions in the North York Moors.
1. North York Moors Railway
The North York Moors Railway offers steam train journeys from Pickering Station to Whitby and there is no need for your dogs to miss out as they are welcome to travel with you. Dogs are charged £3.00 for the day and are asked to remain on the floor and avoid being on tables and seats. We'd recommend stopping at Goathland and enjoying the Goathland to Beck Hole walk. Dogs are welcome on most services but not permitted on dining services and certain special services. Find out more information and book your tickets at NYMR.
