About Pickering

Pickering sits where the North York Moors meet the Vale of Pickering, serving as a gateway between dramatic moorland and gentler plains. The A170 connects it to Scarborough and Thirsk, whilst the A169 links south to York. Long-distance visitors typically arrive via the A64 then A169, and there are over 20 EV charging points locally. The town is the southern terminus for the North Yorkshire Moors Railway heritage steam line to Whitby.
