We look at some of the best locations for Gods Own Country lovers to visit.
9. Robin Hood’s Bay
Picturesque yet rugged, peaceful yet heavy with stormy history, Robin Hood’s Bay is full of contradictions.
Today, the charming old fishing village belies a turbulent past where pirates, bandits and smugglers came out to play.
Seek out the local museum to swot up on local history, then turn your attention to its showstopper beach for fossil hunting, rock pooling and the obligatory sandcastle building.
10. Brontë Country
Explore the wild landscape that inspired romantic classics such as Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights with a romantic walk through heather-clad moorland.
Discover the Brontë Bridge, ruins of Top Withens and the Brontë Falls and take a wander up to Cow and Calf rocks to drink in the view of attractive Victorian spa town Ilkley far below.
