There’s nothing like escaping to the UK seaside for revitalising the spirits and making some magical family memories, and you will never be stuck for things to see and do during your visit to the Yorkshire Coast...

From large stretches of glorious countryside to impressive landmarks, bustling towns and some of the best restaurants in the country, the historic county of Yorkshire has plenty to offer every type of visitor. Carry on reading to find out why there’s much more to Yorkshire than just pie and mash!

If you think the only white cliffs in the country are to be found at Dover, think again. Yorkshire boasts a coastline to rival any in the UK, and the vertiginous chalk cliffs of Flamborough Head , sadly not immortalised in song by Dame Vera Lynn, are nevertheless a wonder to behold.  Add to this the numerous coves and bays tucked beneath these looming giants, the amazing colonies of gannets and puffins who make them their summer breeding grounds and the diverse sea-life  enriching the waters below and you have a ‘must-see’ destination among many belonging to the Yorkshire Coast.

We could wax lyrical for ages about ‘God’s Own Country’ – and with good reason! Yorkshire has become one of the UK’s most popular destinations in recent years, as visitors realise just how much this huge county has to offer. From the wilds of the North York Moors to the coastline that inspired Bram Stoker’s Dracula, museums of Victorian wonders, Viking settlers and mighty Minsters, Yorkshire has it all. Our selection of luxury cottages spread across the county gives you the chance to see the best that’s on offer, so here are a few of our favourite places to visit in Yorkshire, many of which are perhaps a little off the usual tourist trail.
