Visit Yorkshire, England
Yorkshire lies in the North east of England. It is known as ‘God’s Own County.’ It is the largest county in England covering more than 6,000 square miles. Its population is equivalent to the population of Scotland with over five million natives. There are many excellent places to visit in Yorkshire including the North York Moors, Whitby and York.
The North York Moors includes over 500 square miles and is frequented by walkers, hikers and ramblers. The moorland is mostly heather. There is a variety of animals and birds to discover. There is one of the earliest examples of steam railway that runs through the moors from Pickering to Guisborough.
York is an ancient city. York Minster is the largest Gothic church in the whole of England and dates to the 12th century. In York you can get a feel for the area when the Vikings invaded at the Jorvic Viking Centre. The Shambles in York is one of the best preserved medieval streets in Europe. York also has all the conveniences of a modern city. Great restaurants, pubs and shopping – helpful if you are looking for anything from clothes and electronics to a Yorkshire plumber.
Whitby on the Yorkshire coast has a lot of sea faring history. It’s a great place to go sea fishing or to eat fish and chips. Saint Hilda’s Abbey is another building in Yorkshire that is popular with tourists. Captain Cook spent his early years in Yorkshire and went to school in Great Ayton. His school is now a tourist attraction. Yorkshire has many ‘bed and breakfasts’, tea-shops, and specialty shops to visit while you explore the county.
