Beyond the beach, Guisborough, the gateway to the North Yorks Moors National Park is a historic market town with a welcoming atmosphere and offers endless opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors.  Explore wide-open countryside, spot birds and wildlife or take a relaxing dog walk - they are welcome too.  

Entertainment is never far away. Overlooking the sea, the Regent Cinema offers a modern movie-going experience with nostalgic charm—perfect for capping off a day by the sea or escaping a rainy afternoon.
