An excellent Tourist Information Centre. Pickering is not the biggest of places, but the Tourist Information Centre is surprisingly large -- there's a goodly-sized main room and another room off it. It seems a very modern building and is certainly pleasant to use. As you might expect it's packed full of leaflets, booklets and so on to help the visitor to the area. The information available isn't just restricted to Pickering as they've got stuff for York, Leeds, Harrogate and so on. There's also a shop with a small range of postcards and other stuff. The staff are very helpful and certainly in the holiday season it's open long hours, including on a Sunday. All in all, an excellent resource for the visitor to the area.
