Once you’ve explored the Market Place and surrounding characterful streets then Pickering Castle, The North Yorkshire Moors Railway, Beck Isle Museum and the frescoes in St Peter and Paul’s Church are all must-sees.
Tracing its history back to the 11th century, the original Pickering Castle was built by the Normans under William the Conqueror. Used by a succession of mediaeval kings as a royal, hunting lodge, holiday home and stud farm, this magnificent building has a bloody and varied past. From the top of the keep, you can see over the town and the Vale of Pickering; spectacular views which can not be missed.
Perhaps one of the most famous visitor attractions in Yorkshire is the North Yorkshire Moors Railway; carrying over 350,000 passengers a year making it is the busiest heritage steam railway in the UK. Running from Pickering to the popular seaside town of Whitby, passengers have several opportunities to alight and explore the characterful villages on the line including Goathland. To familiarise yourself with our town pick up a copy of ‘The Pickering Trail’ from The Memorial Hall which will take you on interesting tour of local sites. For families, there is a wonderful new Community Park on the Whitby Road where children can let off steam!
