yorks moors

can anyone recommend great camping sites with fab walking nearby and good pub food or a particular area ?

All the North York Moors national park is good for walking and there are many different circular walks possible, though most will involve a short drive to a (usually free) car park. I go there nearly every week walking. Once you find a suitable campsite if you want some ideas for good walks, post back here with distance /difficulty preferences and types of walk you prefer, eg coastal/moorland/valley/historic/etc.

 Goathland is a good base with a couple of campsites.

BEWARE HEARTBEAT NUTS.

There's a 'Rail Trail' along the original rail route to Grosmont. Catch the train, North York Moors Railway steam & diesel, back. You can use the train to get to walk starts & finishes. You can get to Wade's Road the Roman Road from Malton to the coast. The Lyke Wake route passes nearby. And Goathland is where the 'Crosses Walk' started & finished. The Crosses was a 24 hour/53mile challenge/fundraiser for the rescue teams. I was a checkpoint assistant on Lilla Howe checkpoint a few times. While you can get to Lilla Howe it's arduous. And the local war memorial cross is a good copy of Lilla Cross!. There's some nice walks from the village centre too. Don't forget your camera; and don't feed the sheep!. They're becoming lunch pack muggers, every house has a 'cattle grid' at the garden gate!.
