Discover North Yorkshire | A Visitor's Introduction to North Yorkshire
Recommended places to visit, places to stay and things to do in North Yorkshire
Why is North Yorkshire worth a visit? North Yorkshire, part of the wider Yorkshire region, is worth visiting for its incredible variety of experiences packed into one diverse county. From the dramatic cliffs and quaint fishing villages along the Yorkshire Coast to the rolling hills of the Dales and the heather-covered plateaus of the Moors, there’s a visual richness that few places in the UK can match.
Its historical depth is equally impressive, with Roman walls, medieval castles, Gothic cathedrals, and remnants of Viking and monastic life scattered across the landscape. The historic city of York is a major highlight in itself, brimming with character and home to some of England’s best-preserved heritage sites. Meanwhile, smaller towns like Whitby, Ripon, and Richmond offer their own unique atmospheres, steeped in tradition.
