Whitby

Farndale
is famed for its beautiful wild Daffodils and attracts about forty thousand visitors a year just to see them. Generally at their best during the first two weeks of April weather dependent it is believed that medieval monks brought the first daffodils to the area. If you visit at this time of year then you must do the daffodil walk, which is about 1½ miles 2½ kilometres long and runs alongside the River Dove between Low Mill and High Mill. You will find welcome refreshments at the Daffy Caffy and if it has been raining, take your wellington boots - it can be very muddy!
Helmsley
is a lovely market town at the south-western edge of the park. It is a popular foodie destination, with plenty of places to stay, eat and drink, good shopping, and historic sites including a castle and one of England's finest mediaeval abbeys.
