We look at some of the best locations for Gods Own Country lovers to visit.
7. Black Sheep Brewery
Located in pretty Masham, this family-run brewery has been in place since 1992.
The brew house today continues to whip up all manner of thoroughbred Yorkshire stouts, bitters, ales and porters, water extracted from their very own on-site bore hole.
Tour the atmospheric brewhouse, watch the magic in action, chat to experts and then cheers to everlasting love with a few jars at the bar.
8. Lavender’s blue
June, July and August are typical ‘full bloom’ months when you and your other half can saunter through Yorkshire Lavender’s 60 acres of seemingly endless Terrington lavender fields.
Pretty purple flowers dance in the breeze as far as the eye can see.
Join the bees for a lazy bumble through the rows, soak in the smell, snap your obligatory Instagram images, then stop off in the delightful tea room for afternoon tea or ice cream. Flavour? Lavender, of course!
9. Robin Hood’s Bay
Picturesque yet rugged, peaceful yet heavy with stormy history, Robin Hood’s Bay is full of contradictions.
Today, the charming old fishing village belies a turbulent past where pirates, bandits and smugglers came out to play.
Seek out the local museum to swot up on local history, then turn your attention to its showstopper beach for fossil hunting, rock pooling and the obligatory sandcastle building.
10. Brontë Country
Explore the wild landscape that inspired romantic classics such as Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights with a romantic walk through heather-clad moorland.
Discover the Brontë Bridge, ruins of Top Withens and the Brontë Falls and take a wander up to Cow and Calf rocks to drink in the view of attractive Victorian spa town Ilkley far below.
