Accessible Wildlife Tours - Dalby Forest

Deep within the North York Moors National Park, lies huge tracts of forested land. Surrounded by Pickering, Levisham, Fylingdales and Scarborough, they offer exceptional opportunities for recreation and natural history.

Travel 5.5 miles north of Pickering and you’ll reach Cropton Forest. Totalling just over 9,000 acres, it contains many walking trails and is perfect for peace and quiet. From the eastern edge, you can catch glimpses of historic steam trains plying back and forth below. Or head outside its southern boundary and visit historic Cropton village and an ancient Roman site.

Towards the southern section of the National Park, you’ll find the most popular place - Dalby Forest. Set over 8000 acres, it provides a perfect place to enjoy outdoor activities. There are many waymarked walking and cycling trails – some of which are accessible - while close by Bridestones Moor offers a fascinating moonscape-looking landscape worth exploring. Maps are available at the information and visitor centre close to the Thornton-le-Dale entrance.
