The moor is open access land, with footpaths. Car parking is marked on the map. A half-hourly bus between Scarborough and Whitby stops at the Flask Inn, on the A171 (see sketch map). Use an OS map, beware changeable weather and dress for the conditions. Unauthorised vehicles are not permitted.
Walks on the moor
Self-guided walks and trails are available. Download the Stoup Brow Heritage Trail leaflet here, or visit the North York Moor National Park website to download a longer walk on Howdale Moor and Brow Moor, including Stoup Brow and views over Robin Hood's Bay, or a walk on Jugger Howe.
Guided walks occur throughout the summer months, with specialists leading visitors to the best place to find the wildlife, plants and insects that are such a feature at particular times of year. Photographed left is a group heading out to search for some of the entrancing butterflies of the moor and valley floors.
And it isn't just the wildlife that visitors tramp the uplands to view. Fylingdales Moor's long and fascinating history may not be immediately apparent. However under the guidance of an archaeological expert the telltale signs of ancient human settlement on the moors become clear, as well as some of the remains from more recent conflicts, such as World War II. Expert guided walks, like the one pictured below, led by archaeologists actively excavating the moor each summer, are available every summer.
