THomas Famed for its vast but sometimes bleak moorland landscapes, there’s much more to the North York Moors than meets the eye. While heather covers much of the landscape, few know that the North York Moors hold one of the largest concentrations of ancient and veteran woodlands in northern England.
Woodland and forests cover about 23% of the national park and this means it is home to an array of wildlife; it is a European Special Protection Area for merlin and golden plover, meaning it is internationally renowned as a sanctuary for a range of ground nesting birds.
