Things to Do
Yorkshire offers a diverse mix of historic charm, breathtaking landscapes, and vibrant city life alongside fantastic career opportunities. Explore the medieval streets of York and take in the iconic York Minster, or walk along the city’s ancient walls for stunning views. Sports fans can catch cricket at Headingley or football in Leeds and Sheffield. For a change of pace, head to the Yorkshire Dales or North York Moors, where rolling hills, picturesque villages, and scenic walking trails make for the perfect weekend escape. Coastal lovers can visit Whitby’s charming harbour or relax on Scarborough’s sandy beaches. Shopping ranges from stylish high-street brands and designer stores in Leeds to quirky markets and independent shops in towns like Harrogate and Hebden Bridge. After work, unwind with Yorkshire’s thriving food scene, from cosy pubs serving hearty classics to Michelin-starred restaurants, or enjoy the region’s rich arts and music culture in its bustling theatres and live music venues.
Explore the Yorkshire Dales & North York Moors
These two stunning national parks showcase Yorkshire at its most picturesque — from the Dales’ rolling green valleys, limestone cliffs, and waterfalls to the Moors’ heather-covered hills and charming market towns. Stroll through villages like Grassington and Helmsley, ride a heritage steam train, or tackle scenic walking and cycling trails for a true taste of the great outdoors.
Visit York’s Historic Centre
Step back in time as you wander York’s medieval streets, from the winding Shambles to the city’s ancient walls. Marvel at the towering York Minster, one of the finest Gothic cathedrals in the world, and explore museums that bring the city’s Roman and Viking past to life. Between sights, relax in cosy cafés or traditional pubs tucked into centuries-old buildings, and soak up the unique charm that makes York unforgettable.
Discover Historic Castle Howard
Explore one of Britain’s grandest stately homes, set in the picturesque Howardian Hills. Castle Howard boasts stunning baroque architecture, ornate interiors filled with art and antiques, and over 1,000 acres of landscaped gardens, woodland, and lakes. Wander through rose gardens in summer, enjoy woodland walks year-round, and spot the iconic dome that’s graced films and TV series like Brideshead Revisited. It’s a perfect blend of history, beauty, and tranquillity.
Getting Around Yorkshire
Yorkshire is well-connected, making it easy to explore everything from its bustling cities to its peaceful countryside. Major train lines link key destinations like Leeds, York, Sheffield, and Hull, with regular services to London and other UK regions. Local rail and bus networks provide convenient access to towns, villages, and scenic spots across the Dales, Moors, and coast. For drivers, an extensive road network — including the M1, A1(M), and M62 — makes travel between Yorkshire’s attractions simple, while park-and-ride services in cities help take the stress out of urban visits. Whether by car, train, or bus, getting around Yorkshire is straightforward and gives you the freedom to discover the region at your own pace.
