Another coastal attraction with lots to explore; this small fishing village is the perfect place to visit for people who love history. Robin Hood’s Bay Museum tells of the stories behind this beautiful village including the shipwrecks that used to occur often in the village. Photo: Gary Longbottom
7. Staithes
From art galleries, trails and festivals to a picturesque harbour, rock pool beach and cosy pubs, there is so much to explore in Staithes. You can even follow the historic trail of the explorer, navigator and cartographer, Captain James Cook. Photo: Tony Johnson
8. Yorkshire Dales
With its rugged, wild yet gentle and breathtaking vistas, it’s no wonder that it attracts more than three million visitors a year. It is the second largest National Park, behind the Lake District. Photo: Bruce Rollinson
