Things to Do in North Yorkshire
With its rich history, including impressive abbeys, churches, and charming market towns, North Yorkshire provides a perfect blend of sightseeing, cultural experiences, and outdoor activities.
Discover the incredible historic houses and magnificent gardens, breweries and artisan cheesemakers that tell the story of North Yorkshire as well as providing a fun-filled day out.
Meet some of North Yorkshire’s incredible animals, from young spring lambs to majestic birds of prey. Or treat the kids to a play day at one of our dedicated kids attractions where the exhibits are meant to be touched and climbed on!
Outdoor enthusiasts can explore the breathtaking landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors, enjoying miles of uninterrupted landscape perfect for walking, cycling, and water sports.
History lovers can walk in the footsteps of historical figures along cobbled streets and ancient walls or explore a Victorian prison or the lost fortifications of a medieval castle. Bring together a group of friends and try a water sport or exhilarating outdoor activity.
For a slower pace, spend an afternoon admiring contemporary art, outdoor exhibitions or allow yourself to become immersed at the theatre.
