The nights are getting lighter, the weather is a touch warmer and the landscapes are starting to take on more colour.There’s a spring in our step as well as the season – and it’s a great time to jump in the car, on a bus, maybe a train or even a boat and explore the county of Yorkshire.
Great outdoors, magnificent heritage, tasty food, hair-raising attractions or rolling coastlines. You want it? We’ve got it.
There’s a world right here on your doorstep. The only problem is, you’ll need more than one season to explore everything.
Good job there’s three more!
Gary Verity Chief Executive, Welcome to Yorkshire
Yorkshire’s great heritage creates inspirational days out right across our beautiful county.From iconic Whitby Abbey on the coast, to Rievaulx Abbey on the Moors, Clifford’s Tower in the heart of York to Brodsworth Hall and Gardens in South Yorkshire, there is always something exciting to see or do.
This spring, step into England’s story by visiting Yorkshire’s wonderful heritage sites.
Liz Page Historic Properties Director NorthEnglish Heritage
Mile upon mile of untamed nature where you can ramble in seclusion through the crisp clean spring air? A country inn where the afternoon flies by in company and conversation? The excitement of world-class nightlife and stylish café culture? Only you know what you want. But we know where you can find it.
Yorkshire’s range and variety goes on surprising even the people who know the area well. From family beaches to dramatic, storm-lashed towering cliffs, from delightful villages, to cosmopolitan cities that never close, Yorkshire brims with choice and contrast. You’ll have over a thousand square miles of National Parkland to discover, more than any other place in Britain. We have craggy climbs, gentle meadows, dramatic moors and lush woodland. In Yorkshire, history and heritage from the Roman to Victorian interweave with twenty-first century entertainment and attractions.
There are other places you can go to for a walking holiday, other places where you’ll find great shops, other places where you can be pampered in five-star luxury. The unique thing about Yorkshire is that it has it all.

Yorkshire’s exhilarating and diverse landscape provides an extraordinary degree of variety. Whether you want a gentle stroll to sharpen your appetite for lunch or a challenging ramble through the high tops of the Peak District, Yorkshire is a great place to enjoy some fresh air.
There are easy waymarked paths and guided walks that take you through pleasant nature trails and woodland, towns and villages. Take a picturesque stroll along the river and across the stepping stones to Bolton Abbey, in the Yorkshire Dales. Or take a walk through woodland and across open moor at Langsett Reservoir near Barnsley.
In addition to the pleasures of wandering free through ancient hilltops sculpted into wild, serrated crags, there is a choice of long-distance National Trails including the Cleveland Way through the North York Moors and the Pennine Way along England’s great backbone. And you don’t have to do the whole walk at once!
Walking is only one of Yorkshire’s outdoor pleasures. The variety of activities designed to help you get the best from the stunning landscape is constantly growing. Take off in a hot-air balloon to see the fascinating terrain from on high, laze your way through it by narrowboat or ride through it on
horseback or mountain bike. Whether you’re sailing or surfing, diving or climbing, you’ll find your own view of Yorkshire.
Yorkshire is made for exploring by bike. The country was gripped with cycling fever last year thanks to the outstanding success of Team GB’s athletes on two wheels. Now the excitement continues with the highly anticipated arrival of the Tour de France to Yorkshire, with the Grand Départ starting in the county on July 5 2014. Not only can more of our glorious county been seen as you peddle through picturesque market towns, stunning coastline and the tranquil beauty of the countryside, but with masses of quiet routes, a number with no traffic, there are many places suitable to take the children.
With quiet country roads, byways, a network of cycle paths and some fantastic mountain bike trails. The Moor to Sea Cycle Route is a waymarked network of quiet lanes and cross-country tracks that extends to every corner of the North York Moors National Park.
Be enchanted by rolling hills and coastal cliffs along the Yorkshire Wolds Cycle Route or weave in and out of Yorkshire’s major urban centres and post-industrial waterways along the Trans Pennine Trail in West Yorkshire. Explore over 50 miles of mountain bike trails all with stunning views at Dalby Forest.

IncredibleheritageFrom the gilded rooms of great houses to the cramped medieval alleyways, you’ll feel the past come vividly alive in Yorkshire. Yorkshire is rich in historic monuments, great castles and religious sites. In some, costumed characters explain their lives and times for you. In others, you can let your imagination roam free in quiet solitude.

The twelfth-century keep of Richmond Castle stands sentinel over this beautiful town. At Temple Newsam, home to one of the country’s greatest collections of decorative arts, room after stunning room has now been restored to its original Jacobean splendour. In Thorp Perrow Arboretum, amongst a nationally-important collection of trees and shrubs, you can watch the spectacle of falcons in flight.
Explore the changing fortunes of a wealthy Victorian family at Brodsworth Hall & Gardens near Doncaster. At Castle Howard, one of the finest country houses in England, costumed characters step out of the past to tell you what life was really like for the landed gentry - and their staff! The wild moorland setting of Haworth, home to the Brontë Parsonage Museum will leave you with a deeper understanding of the tragic, romantic lives of the fascinating family, as well as of their writings. Follow the lives and loves of one family for over 700 years at Ripley Castle, view the stunning architecture at Harewood House near Leeds or explore the breathtaking landscape at Sledmere House. The choices are boundless.
UNESCO World Heritage Sites are few and far between, but in Yorkshire we have two. The spectacular monastic ruins of Fountains Abbey, set in the ornamental Studley Royal Water Garden, was one of the wealthiest abbeys in medieval Europe. In contrast, Saltaire near Bradford was a model village built for industrial workers in the 19th century. Both live up to the very special accolade they have been given.
From the great events of history to the everyday lives of the poor, in Yorkshire the past lives alongside the present.

At the heart of the North York Moors, Farndale is internationally famed for its annual display of wild daffodils, which normally bloom at the end of March and the beginning of April each year. Usually a little after the best of the domesticated garden daffodils.
It is believed the daffodils were first brought to Farndale by some medieval monks from Rievaulx Abbey. These wild daffodils (narcissus pseudonarcissus) are also known by the old name Lenten Lily, a name derived from the fact they normally bloom around Easter. The Daffodil Walk runs alongside the River Dove, for about 1.5 miles between Low Mill and High Mill, a few hundred yards short of Church Houses. There is a Farndale Shuttle Bus for visitors from Hutton le Hole car park.
One of the best bits of spring: bluebells everywhere on woodland walks. Some of the best places to see carpets of blue this spring are at Hardcastle Crags, a hidden beauty spot near Hebden Bridge, Honley Wood near Holmfirth, Bratt Wood near Hull, Stittenham Wood at Sheriff Hutton, Burton Bushes Bluebell Walk in Beverley and Millington Wood near Pocklington, to mention but a few.
Spring is also one of the best times to explore Yorkshire’s finest gardens, from ‘Capability’ Brown landscapes to walled gardens and small gardens.

Yorkshire has one of the country’s most magnificent coastlines. Golden sandy award winning beaches, clean and continually improving bathing water and stunning attractions all make it a very special coastline. From Filey to Flamborough and Scarborough to Staithes, coves and cliffs offer visitors some of the country’s most incredible vistas, with views out to sea and countryside that make it picture perfect in spring.
With over 100 miles of magnificent coastline to discover, the hardest part will be choosing which beach to go to first. There are busy seaside resorts, soft sandy beaches, secluded coves and rocky shores ideal for beachcombers and fossil-hunters. See thousands of seabirds nesting on the cliffs of Flamborough Head and the Jurassic Coast of Filey Brigg.
From sandy Blue Flag beaches to working harbours and brightly coloured fishing boats, from imposing abbeys to quaint coastal villages, and from bustling seafood markets to the UK’s most delicious fish and chips, this is the stunning Yorkshire Coast.
A trip to Whitby isn’t complete without a visit to The Magpie Café where you can sample the finest fish dishes. The Golden Grid Fish Restaurant in Scarborough specialises in fresh seafood. Further along the coast in East Yorkshire, what better way to indulge yourself, than by tucking into the homemade cakes and cream teas at the Village Farm B&B and Tea Shop in Skipsea.
The list of things to do is endless. Young dinosaur enthusiasts should head to Scarborough’s Rotunda Museum. Explore more than 50 displays of marine life at the Scarborough Sea Life Sanctuary or try the Whitby Museum and Pannett Park Trail.

Many of the county’s cycling routes offer plenty of opportunities to pack a picnic and peddle away until you find your perfect spot.
Experience ‘the best view in England’ at Sutton Bank where you can see miles and miles of North Yorkshire countryside. It doesn’t get much better than at the ruins of Kirkham Priory. Pick your spot anywhere off the footpath that follows the river and find the perfect place for that quiet picnic. Find your own perfect spot at Brimham Rocks, with its curious rock formations and magnificent views over Nidderdale.
Over on the coast, Whitby Harbour has fantastic views across the bays and Flamborough Head’s white cliffs are a picnic lover’s paradise. Dominating the skyline, both Stoodley Pike, towering 400 metres above sea level in West Yorkshire and Boots Tower at Strines Reservoir near Sheffield offer some wonderful views and a lovely quiet spot for your picnic.
For a truly unforgettable experience, entertain your guests with an alfresco dining experience in stunning locations. The Deerhouse and moorland Bothy Huts at Swinton Park provide breathtaking views of the Yorkshire Dales.
Some of Yorkshire’s finest restaurants and cafés can be found in fantastic locations, from The Traddock in Settle surrounded by the Yorkshire Dales, to the perfect riverside location of The Cavendish Pavilion on the Bolton Abbey Estate, and Shibden Mill Inn where the flow of water adds to the inviting nature of the Inn’s outside area for a few drinks this spring.
At Tankersley Manor in Barnsley you can enjoy a drink on the Manor Restaurant and Pennine Bars’ own private terrace.

Play outside in the spring sunshine and have some big fun on the spinning bowls and twisted slides at Sci-Tek, Magna in Rotherham. It’s a wonderland of textures, colours and fascinating features. And if you have a taste for water, the world’s only ‘submarium’, The Deep at Hull, takes you through an underwater tunnel where sharks, endangered jellyfish, strange marine dinosaurs and a host of other sea life swims around you. At York Castle Museum, you can walk down the cobbled streets of a recreated Victorian world and relax in the peaceful riverside area.
Enjoy the great outdoors at the National Coal Mining Museum for England. Take a stroll along the nature trail and find out about the spring plants, and wildlife that make their home there and see what you can spot from the bird hides.
Re-launching in March 2013, the York Dungeon has something for everyone who enjoys that churning feeling in the pit of their stomach, from torture and disease, dismemberment and cruelty, and 2000 years of authentic York history. Experience new surprises, live actors and 11 shows.
Spring is a wonderful time of year when new life comes into the world. Stay on a friendly working farm or visit a Yorkshire farm attraction such as Cannon Hall Farm in Barnsley or Monk Park Farm Visitor Centre in Thirsk. Learn all about springtime – calves and lambs will be there, and the farmers will tell you all about this exciting time of year.
The golden days of transport are kept alive in Yorkshire’s great steam railways. Catch the North Yorkshire Moors Railway and be captivated by the views offered by the 18 miles through the National Park, take in the Yorkshire Dales as you travel along the line of Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway or travel through the heart of Brontë country on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway.
One of the county’s most dramatic outdoor attractions is the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. It sets out to challenge, inspire, inform and delight.
