Things to do in North Yorkshire
There’s so much to enjoy in and around the county, but if you’re not familiar with the local area, here are just a few of the activities you can enjoy.
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.
