This is a diverse and lovely region of the country, offering a taste of everything from pretty seaside resorts to the wilds of the moors, and from remote villages to cosmopolitan cities. Whether you long for the bright lights and action or are seeking an away-from-it-all retreat, Yorkshire and the Humber can accommodate you. If theatre, shopping and non-stop entertainment are your thing, head to cities like Leeds and Shefield.

Fancy a traditional seaside holiday? Then Scarborough or Whitby are the perfect destination, or if you are looking for a break filled with history and art, head to the ancient city of York, or Hull, which has been named as the 2017 Capital of Culture.
