YORKSHIRE AND THE HUMBER This region comprises of Yorkshire as well as North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire.
T
he largest settlements being Leeds, Sheffield, Bradford, Hull and York. Leeds is the largest city in the northern regions and The Royal Armouries, houses the national collection of arms and artillery. Leeds is also known for its trendy bars, live music and bustling Market stalls. The city of York is an eclectic mix of old and new, from the city walls, cobbled streets and charming medieval buildings, to modern shops and restaurants; furthermore with its varied and vibrant calendar of events and
festivals means there is always something happening in the city. However, if you are looking for tranquility and picturesque views then Yorkshire is home to two national parks, the heather moorlands of the North York Moors and the Penine Hills of the Yorkshire Dales where you can roam and explore. Runswick Bay, with its sweeping, sheltered bay and charming red roofed cottages is certainly one of the Yorkshire Coast’s prettiest destinations. The sandy beach once provided anchorage for brightly coloured fishing boats, but is now a family favourite for rock pooling, fossil hunting and coastal walks, where you can admire the breathtaking sea views.
