Attractions

A broad and fascinating array of unique attractions is waiting to be discovered when you visit North Yorkshire.

Historic abbeys, castles, country houses and even a UNESCO World Heritage Site tell the stories of politics, religion and power from days gone by. From Roman mosaics and medieval strongholds to 18th Century showpieces, generations have left their mark for us to see and enjoy.

North Yorkshire is home to some amazing family attractions created specifically to entertain, mesmerise and educate young minds. Enjoy a ride on a steam train on one of the heritage railways or explore magical woodlands.

Home to an abundance of gardens, North Yorkshire has a range of horticultural spaces, award-winning garden designs and hidden gems within the beautiful natural landscapes North Yorkshire has to offer. With many also offering delicious, tasty treats in a cafe on site, and shops where you can take a treasure home with you for your own garden, they are a fantastic day out for all the family.

Take a trip to North Yorkshire’s farm parks where you can meet adorable animals. Meet Llamas, goats, and cows. Why not hold a smaller animal or get a photo feeding the animals so you can remember your special day out.
