Year of the Coast

2023 is the Year of the Coast and with 26 miles of marvellous coastline sitting here in the North York Moors National Park - sandwiched between beautiful moorland and the North Sea - we’re encouraging you to celebrate it with us.

There will be plenty to do along the way with our many walks and ambles, events and exhibitions to keep you busy. Stop by some of the country’s most-famous cafés and restaurants, or help keep your coast neat and tidy with some community beach cleans.

To mark the Year of the Coast 2023, our very own Inspired by… gallery is hosting two exciting exhibitions inspired by the rugged cliffs, windswept sands and sheltered bays of the North Yorkshire and Cleveland Heritage Coast. Pop in from 27 May until 9 July – for free – to see some amazing pieces of work.

The year will be made up of different themes throughout the months, starting with health & wellbeing, nature and wildlife before the stunning end to the year with dark skies and Christmas.

Find out more about Year of the Coast 2023 – both here and throughout the country or follow #Coast2023 across social media.
