Historic coastline and heather moorland - the beautiful North Yorkshire
countryside of Captain Cook’s early life is being discovered by visitors
from across the world.
This land of contrasts stretches from the historic port of Whitby, with
its ancient clifftop abbey, north along miles of unspoiled rugged coastline
to the seaside resorts of Saltburn and Redcar and onto the Tees River
and Cook’s birthplace at Marton in Middlesbrough. Inland across the dramatic
North York Moors Captain Cook Country takes in quiet market towns and
peaceful villages leading back to Whitby along the valley of the River
Esk.
Follow in the footsteps of the young James Cook and take in the virtual
splendour of the beautiful and often breathtaking North Yorkshire and
Cleveland coast and countryside along the Cook
Country Tour.
For schools and researchers the history
section offers a simple history of Captain James Cook's life and voyages
with links to other useful related sites.
