The North York Moors National Park stretches from the Hambleton Hills to the cliffs at Whitby — one of England's most atmospheric landscapes.
Charging in the Moors
Key charge points:
- Whitby — the most popular destination, several public chargers near the harbour
- Scarborough — south of the Moors, good charging provision
- Helmsley — market town, some public chargers
- Pickering — southern gateway, growing provision
The A171 coastal road and A170 cross-moor route are manageable on a single charge for most EVs — just charge at your hotel overnight.
