Yorkshire Holiday Cottages
Yorkshire has a rich and varied history of Romans, Vikings and Saxons. Gothic Cathedrals and old city ramparts are testament to its intriguing past. Yorkshire holiday cottages provide perfect bases for exploring the moor-land, craggy cliffs and historical attractions found in the region.

Its coast is made up of resorts such as
Scarborough and a heritage coastline that consists of large cliffs and small hidden fishing villages like Whitby. This is a region of golden beaches and hidden coves. Some of the beaches are among the finest in the UK.
The northern coast backs on to the picturesque North York Moors. Heather moor-land and deep valleys contribute to a feeling of tranquil solitude and seclusion. A steam railway runs through this dramatic landscape. Towns like
Pickering,
Kettlewell and
Skipton, like their surroundings, remain largely untouched. In the south, the Peak District National Park offers the visitor a desolate romantic countryside of windswept moors and heath-lands.
The cities of Leeds, Hull, Bradford, Sheffield and Hull cast one's mind back to Yorkshire's industrial history as well as offering urban attractions that are as good as anything found further south! Leeds was voted 'Favourite British City of the Year 2003'. The picturesque towns of Slaithwaite, Marsden and Holmfirth have also been chosen as locations for TV series and sit near the rugged beauty of the Pennine Way.
