Lealholm is a pretty riverside village in the Esk Valley, an ideal base for exploring the North York Moors National Park.

It is on the Esk Valley Line, allowing you to hop on a train to Whitby in just half an hour, or head west to the beautiful villages that lie in lee of the high heather moorland, a beautiful landscape to explore on foot.

The 18th-century Board Inn has rooms and serves hearty, good food made from locally sourced produce. During the day, Shepherds Hall Tea Room is also a tempting pit stop.

Definitely a contender for the most picturesque village in the Esk Valley, complete with quaint village store, tea rooms, village green, service station reminiscent of the one in Goathland, and fabulous views of the River Esk.
