York is only a few miles away with its cobbled streets, medieval architecture, timbered black and white houses and a 2000-year history. Sitting within the city walls, York has evolved into a cultural and cosmopolitan city. Bars, artisan and designer shops, cafes and a Michelin Star restaurant 'Roots' by Tommy Banks rub shoulders with historic York Minster and The Shambles, a must for Harry Potter fans.

Some of the best walks and cycling trails in the country are within the beautiful countryside of the Wolds, North Yorkshire Moors and Dales. Try the Yorkshire Wolds Way National Trail or challenging Chimney Bank on the moors.
The Yorkshire coastline and its magnificent cliffs are home to puffins and other birdlife, with sandy beaches below. Whitby Abbey and Scarborough Castle have sat atop the cliffs for centuries. Coves and intriguing smugglers' ports such as Robin Hoods Bay, Staithes and Runswick Bay have a labyrinth of winding streets. Today the smugglers are long gone and these gorgeous villages teem with individual shops, art galleries and cafes, but do be aware that they are very hilly.
