Discover the breadth of landscape and character to be found in England's largest county.
North Yorkshire is home to some of the most picturesque towns and villages in the UK and we cannot wait to share every surprising and astounding treasure with you when you visit.
This vast and varied county features dramatic landscapes of high hills and sweeping valleys, far-reaching patchwork fields and an intricate coast filled with coastal communities and sea views.
There’s a North Yorkshire for everyone with bustling towns, remote fells, dense forests and wide-open beaches.
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. From relaxing walks to adrenaline-filled water sports, you will find something to make you smile.
