Yorkshire

map of Yorkshire

Eh by eck as like. Yorkshire is one of the most interesting of England's Counties. Formerly covered with coal mines, today the environment is Yorkshire's biggest asset.

The yorkshire seaside boasts some of England's finest beaches with blue falg status. The resorts at Scarborough, Bridlington and Cleethorpes are treasured for their charm and honest entertainment.

Whitby is the picturesque fishing port that provided inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula book.

Robin Hood's Bay is the eastern end of the famous 'coast to coast walk' and the pub is spoken about in hushed reverential tones by walkers.

The Yorkshire Dales, North Yorkshire Moors and the Peak District are all wonderful national parks.
