Yorkshire
is your open door to 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.
It reaches into no less than three National Parks
- the Yorkshire Dales, North York Moors and the
Peak District. It also includes the majestic moorland
of Bronte Country and the tranquil beauty of the
Howardian Hills and the Yorkshire Wolds. Its spectacular
coastline is among the finest in Britain, much
of it protected as Heritage Coast.
Also no surprise is the fact that Yorkshire is
proud of its past and a sense of history is never
far away. This was once the kingdom of the Brigantes,
renowned warriors, whose capital is now marked
by the Roman town at Aldborough. The conquering
Romans made their base at Eboracum which in its
turn became the Vikings' Jorvik and later, medieval
York. For more than 2000 years, history has written
a proud and fiercely independent story across
the landscape. From the mighty castles of medieval
England to the mills which mark the birth of the
Industrial Revolution, a period that is vividly
recreated in some of Britain's most exciting museums.
Country or city, trendy or traditional, ancient
history or cutting-edge contemporary, this captivating
part of Britain has it all.
