Yorkshire is big enough to feel like its own country and behaves like one. York is a walled medieval city with a vast Minster and the Shambles; the Dales and the North York Moors are national parks on either side; Whitby broods over the coast with its abbey and Dracula connection; Haworth keeps the Brontë parsonage; and Leeds, Sheffield and Bradford supply the cities.

Best time: May–Sep; Aug–Sep for moorland heather
