The pretty village of Egton Bridge in the North York Moors National Park is characterised by its charming river crossings. The bridge after which the village is named was washed away by floodwaters in the 1930s and was sensitively rebuilt in 1992. There is also an ancient stepping stone crossing to the west of the village.

There are a number of good accommodation options, including its two pubs, the Postgate Inn and the Horseshoe Hotel. Egton is a stop on the Esk Valley Line between Middlesbrough and Whitby.

The spectacularly picturesque village of Egton Bridge. Pretty bridges, river crossings, ancient stepping stones over the River Esk in the west of the village. There is accommodation available, Postgate Inn and Horseshoe Hotel. It's all green, beautiful and rather, shall I say, classically English in the Agatha Christie / Hercule Poirot detective mystery kind of way. An unmissable one.
