Welcome to Yorkshire – England’s largest county.
Yorkshire’s three beautiful National Parks are ideal for walking, cycling and touring. Take a trip on a steam train or visit the harbour town of Whitby on the coast, where Captain Cook set sail for Australia and New Zealand. Historic homes and castles include Castle Howard and Ripley Castle and there are over sixty fabulous gardens to explore!
Yorkshire’s cultural cities - Leeds, Sheffield, Hull, Bradford, Wakefield and Ripon offer excellent galleries, including artists such as Henry Moore, David Hockney, Barbara Hepworth and world class attractions from the Royal Armouries to the National Media Museum. Yorkshire’s literary connections vary from Haworth and Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre to Whitby and Bram Stoker’s Dracula. The fascinating city of York is just 200 miles north of London - visit the National Railway Museum; JORVIK Viking Centre; York Minster and much more, from tearooms, boat trips to spooky ghost walks!
