UK Area Guide - Yorkshire

Yorkshire is your open door to so many different experiences. It's big and boundless, a mix of magnetic landscapes, seductive seascapes and vibrant cities that change by the minute and the mile.

Unwind in its quieter side among timeless green vales and dales dotted with traditional villages. Be part of the buzz of a fast-moving city scene. Feel sea breezes in your face and sand between your toes at charming seaside resorts and salty old harbours. Tuck into the best fish and chips you've ever tasted, then savour the finest sophisticated cuisine at award-winning restaurants and inns. Take a trip back in time at atmospheric castles, abbeys and historic houses. Or leap forward to the future at state-of-the-art attractions.

Yorkshire is a unique mix of influences and inspirational places. It's restful and zestful, forward looking yet founded on a bedrock of traditional values. We're a friendly, straight-talking lot in these parts. And we take great pride and pleasure in introducing visitors to Yorkshire's many and varied faces.

Plain speaking may be part of Yorkshire's character, but there's nothing plain about this captivating part of Britain. Country or city, trendy or traditional, ancient history or cutting-edge contemporary - Yorkshire has it all.
