Anyone familiar with north yorkshire?

[unavailable]

We are moving to north yorkshire. I only know the area from a holiday a few years back. The pickering/malton area looks the best bet for practical reasons.

I liked Pickering when we passed through , but dont know Malton at all. Ideally, a market town or large village with amenities would suit us. We dont need to worry about schools. Any recommendations to help me narrow down a search?

I was thinking that too mrspnut, except for the possibility of the OP getting work in York. Now that's a commute I would never, ever do. But the coast from Scarborough southwards is really lovely.

my brother's partner commutes from york to scarborough & finds it hard going. i would never live in malton - not much going on. but i'm a york girl!
