Danby - Out & About
Danby is at the very heart of the North York Moors National
Park, and you can find out about it at the North York Moors
Centre.
Lying amidst moorland, farmland and woodland it is an ideal area
for walking with many different routes, some taking in the sites of
early settlers.
At the centre of Danby is the village green where Scotch
Blackface sheep roam freely keeping the grass down all year
round.
A fine place from which to view the Esk valley on a clear day is
the Beacon, Danby Beacon is an early warning station dating back to
the time of the Stoneage.
Danby is also accessible from the scenic Esk Valley Railway,
which runs from Whitby to Middlesbrough.
