Our ultimate guide to Yorkshire

Julie 18 October 2023

When considering Yorkshire as a holiday destination, you may be picturing anything from the classic brand of tea and the humble chip butty to its rolling hills created by glaciers aeons ago.

It’s the largest county in the UK, and its unique landscape and heritage have made it an absolutely beautiful region of our small island. With many places of interest, it's a must-visit for anyone looking to holiday in the UK.

Let’s begin with the Yorkshire Dales which is just one of Yorkshire’s two iconic national parks. Here, you can find a complex of cave systems, welcoming towns, cosy country pubs, wonderful walks and National Trust attractions. You could visit York to uncover the medieval architecture that lines these streets or venture into Yorkshire’s second national park: the breathtaking North York Moors. Once you have had your fill of these magnificent inland landscapes, head for the Yorkshire coast to visit the beaches and breathe the salty sea air.

Read on to discover the best things to do and places to go while on a holiday to Yorkshire.

The route will take you through pretty woodland on the way to Janet’s Foss, a magical waterfall and plunge pool with a cave behind it where it’s said that a fairy queen once lived.

Pen-y-ghent

This Yorkshire Dales hill forms part of the Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge and the route to the top is fairly challenging but well worth it for the views you’ll get. The 6-mile walk starts in the village of Horton-in-Ribblesdale, a stop on the famous Settle to Carlisle railway, and you’ll follow the Pennine Way to get to the summit which is marked by a trig point.     

Muker Meadows

Wildflower meadows and dry stone wall in Muker

One of the loveliest Yorkshire Dales walks for late spring and early summer takes in the Muker upland hay meadows around Swaledale where you can see rare species of wildflowers amongst vibrant yellow fields.

Our top 3 walks on the Yorkshire coast

Sandsend to Whitby

Sandsend is the closest village to Whitby and you can easily walk to the seaside town using either a cliff-top path or the sandy beach which connects the two places.
