Reputed to be the oldest town in the district, Pickering dates back to 270 BC and is known as the ‘Gateway to the Moors’. Take a trip on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, an 18-mile steam railway running through the spectacular scenery of the Moors. It has featured in many films and TV programmes and offers special events and dining. Visible for miles around is the grand soaring spire of the St Peter and St Paul’s church which houses a remarkable collection of medieval wall paintings. To discover more of the town’s history, see the magnificent 12th century Pickering Castle or visit the Beck Isle Museum where you can find a host of artifacts from the Victorian era. Try your hand at fishing at the Pickering Trout Lake and Moorland Trout Farm where it is said that 99% of visitors catch a fish!
