Things to do in North Yorkshire
Visiting The City of York
In terms of heritage, food and overall beauty York sets itself apart from any other city in England. The charming rustic streets enclosed by buildings of all shapes and sizes from different periods in York's history provide a plethora of highly rated cafes and restaurants to stop of by for a spot of lunch, just before heading over to York Minster, one of the largest cathedrals in Northern Europe making it a must see.
Exploring monumental historic architecture and ruins
North Yorkshire still to this day is home to many grand castles, abbeys, monastic houses and more. Just one example is Byland Abbey – an outstanding example of early gothic architecture that inspired much of the design of York Minster. As well as the Abbey, there's a Circular walk from Byland Abbey via Mount Snever Observatory which anyone can enjoy.
Shopping in North Yorkshire
York City contains hundreds of unique shops from family run wool-work shops to well-known department stores and all year-round Christmas shops! Whatever it is your looking for will always be right round the corner and easily found.
Gorgeous walks through national parks and moorlands
Being such an open and hilly county, North Yorkshire provides some of the most interesting, scenic, and rewarding walks you could ask for. Whether you're hiking around Malham Tarn, England's highest lake, or sauntering through the woodlands in the Yorkshire dales, you'll never feel dissatisfied.
County page review
“I have been very happy since moving to Lewis Carroll Lodge. There are a lot of activities every week and I have made many friends. Fay and I have a great time going to the theatre, out for lunch or sometimes just wandering round the town. I have never had such a busy social life.”
