The Northern England / Yorkshire/Yorkshire Dales region


The North York Moors National Park covers 554 square miles, with landscape ranging from heather-clad moorland and deep secluded dales, to the cliffs and coves of the magnificent coastline. A haven for walkers, the area also boasts great cycling, gliding, riding and fishing, whilst North York Moors Railway is the perfect way to enjoy the beautiful scenery in a more relaxed setting.
Visit the market towns of Pickering or Thirsk; the latter famous for its links with the English country vet and author, James Herriot. Nearby, some of Yorkshire’s best-loved villages including Thornton-le-Dale and Rosedale Abbey offer a taste of village life, as does Goathland, ‘Aidensfield’ in the TV series ‘Heartbeat’. Finally, stop off at Castle Howard and Duncombe Park, two of Britain’s most historic stately homes situated in breathtaking parklands and gardens.
The cliffs, sandy beaches and smugglers’ caves of the Yorkshire coastline are a haven for beachcombers and coastal walkers. Discover the quaint fishing villages of Robin Hood’s Bay and Staithes, with their brightly coloured fishing boats. Finally, there’s the historic city of York, with its interactive Viking Centre, Roman walls, medieval streets, vibrant shops and gothic York Minster cathedral.
The Skipton / Embsay area
With a stone circle dating back to the Bronze Age, this quiet Dales village is of ancient origin. The lovely little town of Embsay was once the site of a monastic settlement in the 12th Century and still provides an exciting insight into the country’s past. With the Embsay and Bolton Abbey Steam Railway and its award-winning authentic station buildings and steam trains as well as the Old Mill in the village, visitors can witness what the town may have been like in ages past. The Mill now boasts a needlecraft centre and coffee shop, however for all other amenities and attractions, the bustling market town of Skipton is close at hand. Nearby Bolton Abbey, Kilnsey and Grassington are all worth visiting, and with such beautiful surrounding countryside, it isn’t hard to see why the area is so popular amongst walkers.

We had a lovely weekend in this cottage. It was very well equipped and very cosy and warm. The location was also fantastic. Will definitely recommend to friends and family.

,Box Tree Cottage was cosy, pristine and very well equipped and we were able to access the heating which became necessary during a very stormy week.

,Lovely cosy cottage with good views. Perfectly located for touring the Yorkshire Dales. Do not miss Skipton's market and the soup at the Craft Centre in Embsay is to be recommended.
