The Dales will surprise you. Appearing sparse at first sight, when you delve beneath the surface you will find busy market towns, creative zeal and incredible produce. Each of these stunning valleys has its own character and landscape, expressed through wonderful local traditions and events.
The Heart of Yorkshire is a corridor of activity, with a collection of large and lively towns, and the magnificent cathedral city of Ripon. The Victorian highstreets have a sometimes Dickensian aesthetic, and rest under far reaching skies thanks to the gentle landscape of the Vale of York.
The Moors contains more than you might think, from the Yorkshire Wolds in the south where the terrain rolls and dips to the high and romantic heather moorland in the north. In between you will find foodie havens, incredible views and landscapes and breathtaking history, from magnificent stately homes to one of Britain's most famous steam railways.
The North Yorkshire Coast is a mix of lively seaside towns and pretty coastal villages that offers a variety of places to stay, mouth-watering places to eat and drink as well as lots of things to explore.
