North Yorkshire
The beauty of the Yorkshire Dales is renowned. It is an area of many moods; it is expansive, tranquil and charming and, at times, even awesome. Pretty market towns dotted throughout the Dales are filled with pubs, quaint shops and fantastic accommodation.
In contrast, a sense of space and solitude marks the North York Moors, where ridge upon ridge of heather moor land roll into the purple distance. Take a steam railway journey through ‘Heartbeat’ country or admire the view from the top of Sutton Bank – don’t forget your camera! It is little wonder that North Yorkshire was recently crowned the ‘Garden of England’!
The coastline of North Yorkshire holds some of our favourite spots. Whitby was recently voted the UK’s favourite seaside resort. Its maritime heritage together with its atmospheric Abbey, setting for Dracula, adds to its traditional seaside charm. Scarborough and Filey provide ample opportunity to enjoy traditional Victorian seaside resorts.
The elegant spa town of Harrogate is perfect for relaxation. Spend a few hours in the perfectly preserved Turkish Baths before browsing the many boutiques and antique shops. Finish off your afternoon with a cream tea in Betty’s – a Yorkshire institution!
York is one of the most intriguing cities in England; no other English city offers the history, beauty and sheer diversity of York. The superbly preserved walled city has witnessed more than 2000 years of vibrant history. Combine with quaint tea-shops, bustling shopping streets, bars and cafes and fantastic attractions and you've got the perfect holiday destination.
