North Yorkshire - a little about the county.

North Yorkshire is the largest county in England, and arguably the most beautiful. The "County Town" of North Yorkshire is the famous old City of York, noted for its outstanding city walls, its historic Minster, and, amongst many other good reasons to be famous, York is the birthplace of a certain gunpowder plotter, one Guy Fawkes, who first graced the City in the year 1570. His part in the attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament was to light the fuse. Alas, he was caught red-handed, resulting in his execution at the tender age of 36. We confess to not being quite so sure why his has become such a hallowed memory each November, but less of that guy, and more about the places of interest that are so easily found..........

The Pennine Mountains to the West, the North York Moors to the Centre and the East, featuring its well known Railway, lovely East Coast holiday resorts, ancient sites in every corner of the county, stunning views (try Sutton Bank, only a few miles away) the White Horse of Kilburn, the famous Spa Town of Harrogate, 9 race courses, golf courses a-plenty, England's smallest City, Ripon, market towns of varying shapes, sizes and characteristics, all clean, colourful, and very well worth paying a visit.

To summarize, why not visit our splendid county, of which we are justifiably proud, and stay with us at our strategically placed superbly equipped property, from where you can visit so very many places of historic interest, and see for yourself that what we say about the county is very true?

You won't regret it!
