North Yorkshire scenic stops
Best Viewpoints in the North York Moors by Car
From sweeping moorland panoramas and dramatic coastal cliffs to peaceful valleys and historic landmarks, the North York Moors is home to some of Yorkshire’s finest viewpoints.
Whether you are exploring by car, campervan, motorhome or motorcycle, these are some of the best places to stop, stretch your legs and enjoy the scenery.
One of the great pleasures of a North Yorkshire road trip is that the journey itself is every bit as memorable as the destinations. Quiet roads wind across open moorland, descend through wooded valleys and emerge onto dramatic coastlines, revealing spectacular views around almost every corner.
Some viewpoints are only a few steps from convenient parking, while others reward visitors with a short walk. Together they showcase the incredible variety of landscapes found across the North York Moors National Park and the surrounding Yorkshire coast.
Whether you are planning a day exploring the national park or following a longer self-drive route through North Yorkshire, these viewpoints are well worth adding to your itinerary.
Which viewpoint should you choose first? Sutton Bank is the classic choice for wide countryside views, while Ravenscar and Whitby Abbey are particularly rewarding for coastal scenery.

Sutton Bank
Best for: wide panoramic views across the Vale of York
If there is one viewpoint that every visitor should experience, it is Sutton Bank.
Located on the western edge of the North York Moors National Park, this spectacular viewpoint overlooks the Vale of York, with far-reaching views stretching towards the Yorkshire Dales on a clear day.
It is one of the national park’s best-known beauty spots and provides an excellent introduction to the landscapes waiting beyond.
Why visit?
- One of Yorkshire’s most celebrated viewpoints
- Excellent visitor facilities
- Beautiful throughout the year
- Ideal first stop when entering the national park
Parking and walking
A large National Park visitor centre car park makes this one of the easiest viewpoints to visit. The main viewpoint is only a short walk away, with additional trails available if you have more time.
This is a popular location during weekends and school holidays, so arriving earlier in the day often provides a quieter experience.
Hole of Horcum
Best for: one of England’s most dramatic natural landscapes
The Hole of Horcum is one of the North York Moors’ most distinctive natural features.
This enormous natural hollow creates an unforgettable landscape, with wide open views across the surrounding moorland and excellent opportunities to appreciate the scale of the national park.
It is also one of the easiest viewpoints to include while travelling between Pickering, Goathland and Whitby.
Why visit?
- Dramatic geological landscape
- Wide moorland views
- Easy roadside access
- Excellent stop during a scenic drive
Parking and walking
Small roadside parking areas are available nearby, although they can become busy during peak holiday periods. Impressive views require very little walking, while longer paths explore the surrounding countryside.
Weather conditions can change quickly across the moors, so visibility is not always guaranteed. Clear mornings often provide the best views.
Blakey Ridge
Best for: open moorland and big skies
Driving across Blakey Ridge is one of the highlights of any North Yorkshire road trip.
The high moorland landscape creates an incredible feeling of space, with uninterrupted views stretching across the national park in almost every direction.
Late summer is particularly spectacular when the surrounding heather bursts into colour, transforming the landscape into shades of purple.
Why visit?
- One of the highest roads in the national park
- Huge panoramic views
- Quiet, remote atmosphere
- Wonderful heather displays in late summer
Parking and walking
Small lay-bys and recognised stopping places can be found along the route. Most visitors enjoy the scenery from short stops, although several walking routes begin nearby.
Conditions can become windy, misty or icy during winter, so always check the weather before travelling across higher ground.
Rosedale and Chimney Bank
Best for: valley views and industrial heritage
The Rosedale Valley offers a completely different perspective on the North York Moors.
Instead of wide open moorland, you will discover peaceful valleys, rolling hillsides and reminders of the area’s industrial past, all viewed from one of the most scenic parts of the national park.
Nearby Chimney Bank is famous for its exceptionally steep road, but even if you choose not to drive it, the surrounding viewpoints are well worth visiting.
Why visit?
- Beautiful valley scenery
- Historic ironstone landscape
- Excellent photography opportunities
- Quiet roads away from the busiest tourist areas
Parking and walking
Parking is available within Rosedale and at recognised stopping places nearby. Short walks provide even better views across the valley, although simply pausing to admire the scenery is equally rewarding.
If you are driving a larger motorhome or are unfamiliar with very steep roads, check local conditions before deciding whether to use Chimney Bank. Alternative routes still offer wonderful scenery.

Ravenscar
Best for: spectacular coastal views
Perched high above the North Sea, Ravenscar offers one of the finest coastal viewpoints in North Yorkshire.
From the clifftops, you can enjoy sweeping views across Robin Hood’s Bay, dramatic sea cliffs and miles of unspoilt coastline.
It is a peaceful place to pause during a road trip and provides a very different perspective from the busy streets of nearby Whitby.
Why visit?
- Expansive coastal panoramas
- Views across Robin Hood’s Bay
- Dramatic cliffs and sea scenery
- Excellent stop between Whitby and Scarborough
Parking and walking
Public parking is available in Ravenscar, with additional National Trust parking nearby. The best views are reached by relatively short walks along established paths.
This is an exposed coastal location, so even on warm days it can feel noticeably cooler and windier than inland.
Danby Beacon
Best for: peaceful moorland panoramas
Standing high above the surrounding countryside, Danby Beacon offers one of the quieter viewpoints in the national park.
Its elevated position provides wide-reaching views across the northern moors and, on exceptionally clear days, towards the coast.
Unlike some of the more famous viewpoints, Danby Beacon often feels peaceful, making it ideal for visitors looking to escape the busiest tourist spots.
Why visit?
- Far-reaching moorland views
- Historic beacon site
- Quiet location
- Excellent sense of remoteness
Parking and walking
Small parking areas are available close to the viewpoint. Only a short walk is needed for the best views, with longer public footpaths available for further exploration.
Roads approaching Danby Beacon are narrower than some of the national park’s main routes, so allow plenty of time and drive carefully.
Cowbar and Staithes
Best for: harbour and village views
Few coastal villages are as instantly recognisable as Staithes, and the elevated views from Cowbar provide one of the best ways to appreciate its colourful cottages, historic harbour and dramatic setting.
It is a wonderful place to pause before heading down into the village itself.
Why visit?
- Beautiful harbour views
- Traditional fishing village
- Dramatic coastline
- Excellent introduction to Staithes
Parking and walking
Public parking is available on the edge of the village. Reaching the best viewpoints involves walking from the car parks, and the streets are steep in places.
Vehicle access within the oldest part of Staithes is restricted, making this a destination that is best explored on foot after parking.
Whitby Abbey and East Cliff
Best for: historic coastal scenery
Overlooking Whitby Harbour and the North Sea, Whitby Abbey provides one of the most iconic viewpoints anywhere in Yorkshire.
The elevated position combines spectacular coastal scenery with one of England’s most recognisable historic landmarks, making it a fitting finale to a North Yorkshire road trip.
Why visit?
- Whitby Abbey
- Harbour and town views
- Historic setting
- Outstanding coastal panorama
Parking and walking
Several public car parks serve the East Cliff area, although they become busy during peak holiday periods. The famous 199 Steps provide the traditional approach, with alternative access routes available.
Early morning and late afternoon often offer a more relaxed experience than the busiest part of the day.

Plan your stops
Planning your viewpoint visits
A little preparation can make the experience safer and more enjoyable.
Parking
Many viewpoints have dedicated visitor or public car parks, while others use smaller recognised parking areas. Always use designated parking where possible and avoid stopping on bends, soft verges or passing places.
Walking
Although this guide focuses on viewpoints that are easy to include during a self-drive journey, some require a short walk from the parking area. The extra few minutes are often rewarded with even better views.
Weather
The North York Moors can experience rapidly changing weather, particularly on higher ground. Mist, strong winds and low cloud occasionally reduce visibility, so check the forecast before setting out.
Travelling in larger vehicles
The viewpoints can be included by car, campervan, motorhome or motorcycle, but some roads leading to remote locations are narrower than the national park’s main routes. Allow extra time and follow local road signs.
