Marmion is situated within the North Yorkshire Moors National Park and as such is close to some spectacular locations and a lots of things to do and see. There are  enough walks on the moors to keep the most  energetic people happy.

There are two post offices close by, one of which, The Fylingthorpe General Store is just 2 minutes walk and is stocked with a good range of food and drink to keep you happy. The store is open 7 days a week..

Whitby, a busy little seaside town with plenty of shops and places to eat, ranging from the good old Yorkshire chip shop to some quite nice restaurants. It has a delightful harbour with long piers and one of the nicest beaches I have seen in England.

The harbour is an old haunt of Captain Cook and has regular visits from square rig ships as the picture shows.Whitby has a railway station which has daily services connecting into the East Coast Main Line, but it is a bit of a long way around. If you go slightly further up the coast you will pass Whitby golf Club on the way to Sandsend, another enchanting sea side village.
