Yorkshire Trip - advice please

Good hotel. Try coming off the A1 at Thirsk turning and then take A170 to Pickering then A169 to Sleights/ Whitby via Goathland, ( home of heartbeat ). Loads of nice roads around to loop back on + you can cross back over the A1 into the dales to pick up nice roads around Bedale and across to Hawes etc taking in Buttertubs pass etc.
Enjoy.
Enjoy.

Can only echo the above. Head to Pickering, turn round and there's are tonnes of nice sweeping rounds through the moors. Hole of horcum might be a nice check point if you fancy a break.Enjoy.
As above, we have family in Castleton, so regularly use the Blakey Ridge road.
With a bit of luck in terms of avoiding heavy traffic, the A169 and the Hemsley to Stokesley road (1257) are a joy to use.
The main hazards include an ever growing peloton of lycra-clad cyclists, motorcyclists using the b1257 as a racetrack and sheep on the moors.
Edited to add recommendations for both Guisborough Hall and the Lion at Blakey.

If you need to be close to Guisborough then The Grinkle Park Hotel is a reasonable second option and about 10 minutes away

Thank you for all your responses. I don't think we'll have any trouble sorting out a route and lunch stop. Accommodation is proving to be a little more tricky, though. It must get mighty popular around your neck of the woods at Easter.

That is indeed a deceptively rough road if you have any kind of sporty suspension going on. Would be a decent drive for a best smoker barge/wafter with soft suspension though . Also there are far too much suicidal sheep along there to make decent progress.All that jazz said:
