When you look out over the rolling green dales, it’s easy to see why the locals are proud of this expansive and beautiful county. From York’s fascinating history and charming cobbled streets to wild and windy North York Moors, this is a county you’ll want to return to year after year. And with so many fantastic holiday rentals in the area, picking a place to stay will be a pleasure. Choose from a log cabin in the countryside, a cosy cottage in a Yorkshire town and much, much more.

To discover a wealth of history, visit some of Yorkshire's castles and ruins. Skipton Castle is one of the most well-preserved castles in England and has stood as the ‘guardian of the gateway to the Yorkshire Dales’ for over 900 years. There are some stunning and atmospheric ruins to wander around too, such as the Gothic Whitby Abbey and the picturesque Roche Abbey.
