All about Yorkshire
When to visit
Yorkshire is perfect whatever time of year you visit, but when you go will depend on what type of trip you want. Hiking in the Yorkshire Dales or vacationing by the sea is much more pleasant in the spring and summer, while the cities’ Christmas markets and festive lights make November and December shine. As with most popular destinations in England, summer brings in a lot of crowds, so it may make sense to avoid traveling during bank holidays and weekends between June and August.
Getting around
Traveling by train is the easiest way to get from place to place if you’re visiting Yorkshire’s larger towns and cities. To explore the countryside of North Yorkshire, renting a car is the most sensible and convenient choice, although bus routes link many towns and offer an even better value option; check the timetables before setting off.
Traveler tips
Don’t miss out on the smaller towns. Places like Halifax and Harrogate are well worth a visit, with centuries-old historic houses and castles, idyllic parks and gardens, and Victorian-era markets. Visit seaside towns like Scarborough, Robin Hood’s Bay, and Whitby off-season for a quieter, more atmospheric experience.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the prettiest place in Yorkshire?
Nidderdale AONB (Area of Natural Beauty) is consistently voted as the prettiest place in Yorkshire. A nature reserve that’s home to countless species of birds, animals, and indigenous plants, it combines windswept moors with steep valleys and peaceful, pastoral farmland.
What is Yorkshire most known for?
Ask a local what Yorkshire is most famous for, and they’ll probably say Yorkshire pudding—a baked pastry made with eggs, flour, and milk and usually served during Sunday roasts. However, the county of Yorkshire is just as famous for its wild landscapes and the Brontë sisters, who all hail from Thornton and whose classic novels were partially inspired by their environs.
Why is Yorkshire popular with tourists?
Yorkshire is popular with tourists because of its variety. Travel to Yorkshire, and you’ll find mountain bike trails and exceptional climbing on top of art galleries, modern architecture, and Michelin-star dining. You can make Yorkshire your own, no matter your interests.
What is there not to miss in Yorkshire Dales?
The Yorkshire Dales is an area of moorland and limestone hills dotted with picturesque villages and traditional pubs. Visit the Ribblehead Viaduct to see an engineering marvel, and continue on to White Scar Cave to venture into the rocky labyrinth beneath Ingleborough mountain. The 4.3-mile (7-kilometer) Ingleton Waterfalls Trail is also a must-see.
What is the poshest town in Yorkshire?
Harrogate is repeatedly voted as the poshest town in Yorkshire, and it has the Victorian glamor and picturesque parks to stand up to that title. Home of the original Bettys tea room and the 19th-century Turkish Baths, Harrogate is the perfect place to spend a night or two in luxury.
What is the oldest town in Yorkshire?
Ripon is Yorkshire’s oldest town, and at around 1,300 years old, it’s also the oldest city in England. It boasts a stunning cathedral and a watch-setting tradition that has continued for 1,128 years.
