The beauty of a Yorkshire holiday is that it is easy to combine days in the countryside with trips into the city. Yorkshire is home to some of the UK's finest stately homes, and the city of York dates back to Viking times. Over on the coast, enjoy a traditional English seaside holiday with beaches, candyfloss, and piers.
Scarborough was one of England's foremost resorts in Victorian times. Kids will enjoy making sandcastles on the beach, or exploring the ruins of Scarborough Castle. The town's open-air theatre hosts regular performances in the summer months. Scarborough is also the ideal place to enjoy traditional seaside entertainment with funfairs and fish and chips.
Known as 'Jorvik' to the Vikings, York has been one of northern England's most important cities for centuries. Don't miss the famous Jorvik Centre which transports visitors back in time to a busy Viking settlement almost a thousand years ago. York's famous Minster is also worth a visit, as is the nearby Railway Museum. York was also the city where the UK's chocolate industry developed, and there's no shortage of cafes and shops selling handcrafted chocolates and cakes.
Leeds is one of the trendiest Yorkshire destinations, with hip restaurants, boutique shopping, and a flourishing arts scene. The student area of Headingly is where you'll find the best bars and clubs. In the city centre, take your pick from upscale department stores or independent traders at the Victorian Grand Arcade.
