DESCRIPTION
Pickering is a thriving market town found at the foot of the North York Moors National Park, along the A170 Thirsk to Scarborough Road. As a result there are excellent road links to the East Coast, City of York and neighbouring market towns of Helmsley and Kirkbymoorside. The Coastliner bus service runs frequent buses through Pickering linking with Malton and its train station that provides a direct line to York and its Intercity London to Edinburgh service. Pickering has a good range of shops, 2 supermarkerts, a Monday street market, doctors surgery, dentists and library.
