Yorkshire holiday attractions.
Yorkshire holidays are great. Many parts of North Yorkshire and East Yorkshire are in easy reach of Filey which is in the middle of the Yorkshire coast. The Yorkshire cities of Hull and York are also within easy reach and good for a day out and can be reached by train if you want to give the car a rest. There are good walking areas on the Yorkshire coast, the Yorkshire Wolds and the North Yorkshire moors. We have compiled a selection of local Yorkshire attractions which our families have visited and have found enjoyable and also put a list of Yorkshire websites where further information on these Yorkshire attractions can be found.

magnificent Bempton Cliffs which tower vertically over 300ft above the

Interesting Yorkshire holiday attractions in Hull.
Hull is by far the biggest city in this part of Yorkshire. Once famous
for its deepwater trawler fleet it is now modernising itself with
a good waterside areas, a large marina, the Deep and shopping centres.
It also has an older area close by with some good free museums and a
free Art gallery.This Yorkshire city deserves a much better reputation
and we always find the people friendly and the service excellent.|
The Deep. This
houses one of the worlds (never mind Yorkshire's) largest aquarium
tanks in a stunning building
on the banks of the Humber Estuary close to the centre of Hull and all
the local museums. It attracts visitors from all over Europe. It really
is worth visiting if you have not been and why not visit some of Hull's
other museums, especially the maritime museum. |

every day so check and you may need to book and pay). If you
visit the Maritime museum look out for a photo of our great grandfather
peering out of the wheelhouse of his fishing boat. |
