North Yorkshire is a great place to explore, which means Tingdene Redcar Beach is a great place for a holiday home
If, like so many people right now, you’re exploring the idea of owning your own static caravan, Tingdene Redcar Beach Caravan Park is well worth investigating. Why? Because it’s in a beautiful area where there’s so much to explore.
1. Captain Cook’s Birthplace Museum
20 minute drive from Redcar Beach Caravan Park
What better place to start than at the birthplace of a great explorer of course. Captain James Cook was one of the greatest sailors, navigators and explorers and is known for mapping the East Coast of Australia.
Today, the museum in Marton near Middlesbrough is a great place to visit. Opened in 1978, on the 250th anniversary of the Captain’s birth, it’s packed with exhibitions, galleries and activities.
2. The Cleveland Way
45 minute drive from Redcar Beach Caravan Park
A 110 mile trail across the North York Moors; this is a joy. Yes, there are some slightly challenging sections but if you’re reasonably fit you’ll be fine.
From the lovely town of Helmsley, all the way to Filey, The Cleveland Way will take you through heather covered moorland, scenic smugglers’ haven Robin Hood’s Bay and on to Whitby, with its legendary links to Dracula.
The trail is well signposted and there are several circular walks - you don’t have to explore all 110 miles in a day. It’s walks like this that make having a UK seaside holiday home at locations like Redcar Beach such a great idea.
3. Newton Wood
26 minute drive from Redcar Beach Caravan Park
If you love a walk in a bluebell wood then this is the place for you. In April and May it’s a spectacular sight. Around 10 miles away for Tingdene Redcar Beach Caravan Park, these ancient woods are a delight.
Among several species of trees you’ll be able to walk, bird watch and savour countryside at its best. The area regularly features in lists of best and favourite hikes.
4, The Wainstones
37 minute drive from Redcar Beach Caravan Park
When you walk up to the great crags known as The Wainstones, you’re treated to some of the finest views on the North York Moors. This is good rock climbing territory and it’s wonderful for walking.
You’ll find a lot of information online to help you choose the sort of walk best suited to you. They range from easy access strolls to seven plus mile hikes around Danby Dale and Blakey. The Wainstones Walk itself is an eight mile adventure for which you’ll need to allow a full day. But what a day.
You’ll take in the highest point on the Moors, parts of The Cleveland Way and you’ll have those views. And those views are spectacular.
5. Roseberry Topping
26 minute drive from Redcar Beach Caravan Park
They call this place The Yorkshire Matterhorn. Don’t be deterred, it’s more to do with the shape than the challenge. That’s not to say there aren’t walks of varying ruggedness to the summit of this distinctive feature.
The young James Cook (you know - the one with the museum) used to climb up Roseberry Topping when he could get away from his father’s farm in nearby Great Ayton. And if the history of the place interests you - it was the Vikings who gave the hill its charming name.
Roseberry Topping is 1049 feet (320m) high and although not officially the highest point in the North York Moors it’s so distinctive that it’s become a symbol of the area. It’s even echoed in the Teesside International Airport logo.
There’s a lot to see and do here. If (and it’s unlikely) you need added mental stimulation, you could always start a game of ‘which legendary guitarist dedicated a song to Roseberry Topping?’ With bonus points for ‘which song?’ and ‘on which album?’ Sorry - no clues given here.
6. Hasty Bank
33 minute drive from Redcar Beach Caravan Park
You can see Roseberry Topping from the summit of Hasty Bank. You can see a lot of the Tees valley too. Hasty Bank, with its all but vertical northern face has been much eroded over the centuries.
Its profile is easily identifiable in the landscape of The Cleveland Hills. It’s not a hill that will require you to buy mountain climbing equipment. But it’s a great walk, and had wonderful views.
7. Gisborough Moor
37 minute drive from Redcar Beach Caravan Park
Just to the south of the town of Guisborough this is a wide, flat, ridge. The view from Highcliff Nab overlooks the town. The place is crossed by fascinating walks, many of which lead to The Cleveland Way.
Historically there are links to the two world wars. A memorial on nearby Commondale Moor remembers two pals who worked on the Gisborough Estate and went off together in 1914. Neither survived. And, during World War Two there were clever decoys established on the moors here. They misled enemy aircraft into bombing uninhabited land rather than the important industrial sites in Middlesbrough.
Gisborough Moor is another stunning example of the great outdoors, the great sweeps of countryside you can explore when your holiday base is your own holiday home in a location like Redcar Beach Caravan Park.
