Yorkshire Coast

Skim a stone, jump over waves, go swimming in the sea and hunt for fossils and bones as you tick off some of the National Trust's 50 things to do before you're 11 ¾ at our special place.

We work closely with tenant farmers, experts and other organisations to look after the remains of the WW2 radar station at Ravenscar.

On the Yorkshire coast rocks from the Jurassic period are exposed for all to see, in a series of spectacular cliffs and bays.

Discover the coast's industrial past, spot wildlife, explore with self-led walks and cycle rides or enjoy cliff top views.

Drop in at our visitor centres for a perfect start to your adventures on the Yorkshire Coast.

At first glance, the stunning views on the Yorkshire coast appear to be a rugged natural landscape created by time and tide. In fact, human history is as significant as natural history in shaping this beautiful coastline.

A cliff top circular walk from Old Saltburn to Warsett Hill. Wild flowers, sea birds and clues to the coast's industrial past.

We've created a gentle self-led walk to help you explore the fascinating history and sweeping views of Ravenscar.

A coastal mini tour on two wheels

Large parts of our land at Port Mulgrave are covered in blackthorn. The protection offered by these spiny thickets make them ideal homes for small birds like dunnocks, yellowhammers and chaffinches. Theres one quite special bird that likes to call the scrub home too.

Some of our places have rocky shores which are excellent for rock pooling when the tide is out. Try Saltburn, Robin Hoods Bay and Boggle Hole, you could be surprised at the variety of wildlife to be found.

There's nothing quite like visiting a seabird colony in Spring. Read our guide to the different species you can encounter at Cowbar Nab.
