THE LOCAL AREA

The village nestles at the southern edge of the North York Moors National Park just 4 miles north of the A170 road which runs from Scarborough to Thirsk along its southern edge. The village provides peace and relaxation and has much to offer the holidaymaker. It is a place of unique beauty and historic interest. The village website www.lastinghamvillage.org is full of useful information.

Lastingham is a quiet village with fewer than 100 inhabitants and has a charming inn, The Blacksmiths Arms, which serves food and drink every day. It is everything a village pub should be.

Opposite this is the most famous building in the village – the church of St Mary with its ancient crypt built in 1078 as a shrine to St. Cedd and St. Chad. They came from Lindisfarne to find a monastery here in A.D. 654 and St. Cedd is buried beside the altar in the crypt. It is a very peaceful place for contemplation.

Flamingo Land Theme Park, Eden Camp Modern History Museum, Hutton-le-Hole Folk Museum, and the North York Moors Steam Railway are just some of the attractions in the neighbourhood. There are many historical sites to explore, such as the majestic Castle Howard, and other buildings such as abbeys, cathedrals, and stately residences. Last, but not least, there’s the wonderful scenery – woods and heather moorland, hills, dales and seaside.

The North York Moors National Park covers 554 square miles, with landscape ranging from heather-clad moorland and deep secluded dales, to the cliffs and coves of the magnificent coastline making it a haven for walkers.
