YorkshireYorkshire 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.
