It has been dubbed the North's prettiest village and the UK's second greatest - I went to see what all the fuss was about

While the rest of the UK was enjoying a sunny day, we found ourselves navigating through dense fog as we journeyed into the heart of the North Yorkshire Moors.

But, wow... As soon as we spotted the first ivy-clad house, it was clear why this place had garnered such praise. With its charming brook - the site of an annual local duck race - its quaint central pub, and vast village green, it was the epitome of the idyllic village many dream of. Despite its remote charm and the complete absence of phone reception, you find yourself right in the heart of the North York Moors National Parka magnet for walkers worldwide. Within a mere 30 minutes, you can also reach the beautiful seaside towns of Whitby and Scarborough, not to mention the historic city of York.

Wondering if others were as taken aback by this as I was, I decided to consult Jake Leonard, 51, the landlord of The Crown Inn, who has been at the helm for over a decade.Amid serving drinks to his regulars, Jake shared his thoughts on why the village has become such a focal point. Caroline expressed her affection for the village: "We fell in love with this village," she said, adding, "we have lived all over the country and this is one of the best views we have ever had."
