This charming detached 19th century stone-built cottage is located in the Esk valley in the pretty village of Egton Bridge. It has been lovingly refurbished to provide a delightful retreat with modern amenities. Situated in spectacular walking country within the North Yorkshire Moors National Park, the property is on the route of the Coast to Coast walk, 8 miles from the historic coastal town of Whitby, 4 miles from Goathland (Heartbeat's "Aidensfield") and 2 miles from the NYM Steam Railway at Grosmont: ideal for touring the many lovely seaside and moorland villages and market towns such as Pickering, Malton and Helmsley. Egton Bridge rail station and the local pub/restaurant are a 6 minute walk away, with a second pub across the stepping stones. Fishing is available by permit from Egton Estates. The famous Beggar's Bridge is at nearby Glaisdale.
