From the breathtaking beauty of the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors to the sandy beaches of the Yorkshire Coast, our county is varied and vast. So much to explore now that we can grab that longed-for staycation.
The great outdoors means long walks, new places to discover and the chance to support local businesses who’ve had it tough these past few months of pandemic.
Staying close means bringing the family – dogs included. We’ve given our staycation hunt an animal theme – stay on a farm or at a dog-friendly cottage. Bring the horse, bring the hamster even or just have some time out with an alpaca!
