Afternoon Tea

A true British tradition

Afternoon is a time old British tradition, and nowhere is it more celebrated than here.

Across North Yorkshire you will find an incredible variety of afternoon teas from the stately and traditional, to the quirky and unique.

It can be the traditional cucumber sandwiches, scones and clotted cream or indeed a slightly more indulgent version with the addition of something fizzy.

North Yorkshire has a deep connection with afternoon tea, from world renowned tea rooms in beautiful surroundings to Ripon Cathedral – where Lewis Carol was inspired to create his Wonderland, a magical place where afternoon tea could go on forever by merely changing places.

Afternoon tea fits perfectly into your trip to North Yorkshire, offering an hour’s rest from an enjoyable day exploring.
