Get to know Y. . . . a long weekend in Yorkshire isn’t long enough.

Yorkshire is a big, bold, and beautiful part of England. It’s a wonderfully diverse region offering romantic moorland, pretty villages, lively cities, heritage grandeur, indulgent experiences and grand sweeping coastlines.

Yes, you’ll find world-class attractions and award-winning sights - but you’ll also discover that Yorkshire has retained its own distinctive charm too. In Britain it is often known as 'God’s own country'.

The great Yorkshire outdoors can be as adventurous or as relaxing as you like, but leave time for plenty of stops along the way, our countryside is full of memorable views and picturesque picnic spots. And there are sure to be plenty of traditional country pubs and friendly little teashops along your way. They’re Yorkshire specialities.

You won’t find better city breaks either – Yorkshire cities have recently been voted the best in the UK for visitors. Easy-to-reach cultural centres like Leeds and York offer a special mix of wonderful history with exciting shopping, highly acclaimed restaurants, cafes and bars. There’s colourful nightlife too, everything from an evening at the opera to a quiet chat with the locals in a friendly old pub.

If you are looking for a relaxing break, Yorkshire can offer luxury accommodation, fine dining and real indulgence. Enjoy spa treatments, afternoon tea or simply relaxing in the gardens of many of our fine hotels and B&Bs.

History and heritage can be found across the whole country, from the ancient ruins of Whitby Abbey to the magnificent Gothic York Minister. From stately homes to beautiful gardens, there really is so much to see and do.

Visit any time of the year and wherever you go you’ll find Yorkshire people are ready to welcome you. In fact, the locals are well known in Britain for being so warm-hearted, honest and down-to-earth. Yorkshire prides itself on its warm welcome, personal service and great value.
