YORKSHIRE DALES
The Yorkshire Dales epitomises a picture postcard English country landscape. Each dale has its own, distinct character and this is reflected in the villages and market towns where you can shop for local produce and crafts or seek out one of those renowned tea rooms or pubs serving good food and local ales. For walkers the Yorkshire Dales are criss-crossed with footpaths and you can choose gentle rambles in the valleys or invigorating climbs on the fells including the ultimate challenge of the "Three Peaks" of Ingleborough, Penyghent and Whernside.
Long before it was designated as a National Park, visitors, artists and writers sought out the Yorkshire Dales for its unspoilt, breathtaking and dramatic scenery. Today this special place is a favourite destination for walkers, cyclists, horse-riders alike and for those who want to explore the lovely villages, find out more about the Dales’ booming industrial past, experience a traditional agricultural show or village gala or just enjoy a gentle stroll or picnic in the fresh air. It’s a place for all seasons with something for everyone. Covering an area of 1,762 square kilometres (680 square miles), the National Park is located in the north of England, and straddles the central Pennines in the counties of North Yorkshire and Cumbria.
Whitby is dominated by the cliff-top ruins of the beautiful 13th century Whitby Abbey. This traditional maritime town, with its old cobbled streets, picturesque houses and sandy blue flag beach is a fantastic place for a holiday or short break, Whitby is set among fine stretches of coast with spectacular cliffs, beaches and bays.
Scarborough, Britain’s first seaside resort, has been welcoming visitors for over 360 years and is still as popular as ever. Scarborough is a great a place to stay for a family holiday or short break, with the safe, sandy, accredited North Bay Beach and South Bay Beach being broken by a rocky headland on which stands a reminder of the past, the historic Scarborough Castle.
A city of contrasts and exciting discoveries, York is a place where the old encompasses the new and the commonplace meets with the unexpected. Broaden your mind with a visit to world class museums or a variety of festivals held throughout the year catering for all ages and interests. If you are looking for a cultural getaway or a romantic weekend break then visit York and be inspired.

Delve into the city's vibrant café culture, take time out to enjoy some of the country's most talented street entertainers or simply watch the world go by while sipping a drink by the river.
The Lake District and Eden Valley are internationally renowned as one of England's areas of outstanding beauty. Take in the breathtaking landscape on strenuous climbs to the summit of England's highest mountains, by gently strolling through wooded valleys or cruising leisurely on Windermere, Derwentwater or Ullswater.
SCOTLAND
Scotland is a paradise for lovers of the great outdoors with sporting and leisure opportunities galore. Walkers have a huge choice of routes from the ultimate challenge of the Cuillin Ridge on Skye to gentle strolls by river and loch. Many of the lochs offer a wide range of water based activities including sailing, canoeing and wind surfing. Scotland is famed for the quality of its fishing and golf courses and enthusiasts of either pursuit are sure to be spoilt for choice.
DERBYSHIRE DALES
The two Peak District towns of Buxton and Matlock both developed as spa towns and boast fine architecture and great shopping opportunities whether you’re looking for antiques, boutiques or local crafts and produce. Throughout the year the area hosts a range of festivals and activities including Buxton’s annual musical festival which attracts artists and musicians from all over the world. One strange custom which takes place in villages all over Derbyshire is Well Dressing and involves decorating wells and springs with pictures created from living materials.
The Cheviot Hills and Northern Pennines, the historic walled border town of Berwick-Upon-Tweed, mile after mile of golden beaches, historic sites galore and the contrasting cities of Durham and Newcastle make this the perfect area for holidays full of variety and contrast.
