Taciturn, dour, gruff even but Yorkshire folk have infinite pride in their county. For that reason you are welcome to visit or live in the area but do not expect full acceptance to take less than a generation or three.
North, East or West there is a Riding for you – obviously we don’t take as quickly to southerners, so we have no South Riding.
To show just how welcoming you may find Yorkshire there is a section on this website that visitors could find useful. It lists things to do and see in various towns, cities and villages.
The lists are often curtailed, limited or restricted (with Yorkshire modesty) to a top ten when there are lots more attractions to these Yorkshire Places.

As the flags on this photograph reveal we also welcome European and International visitors of all nationalities even from the rest of Great Britain.
