VisitYorkshire | West & South Yorkshire

West &SouthYorkshire

Welcome to

A part of Britain where traditional markettowns contrast with bustling cities, Westand South Yorkshire is the place to visitwhether you are looking for a tranquil,relaxing holiday or just a few nights awayto explore city life.

With huge redevelopment in recent years, you’ll find a newcontemporary edge to the centres of Leeds, Bradford andSheffield to name but a few. All have their attractions, such as theCity Museums and Royal Armouries in Leeds and the NationalMedia Museum & IMAX cinema in Bradford. Sport enthusiasts arewell catered for too, watch Leeds United FC at Elland Road, enjoythe Rugby and watch domestic Yorkshire or even internationalcricket at Headingley.

And lets not forget Sheffield, England’s fourth largest city, itboasts around 150 woodlands and 50 public parks and as a resultit’s the country’s greenest city. What’s more the Peak DistrictNational Park - ideal for walking, climbing and a whole host ofother pursuits - is right on the doorstep, so it’s the perfect basefor combining a country and city break.

Country towns including Otley, Ilkley and Wetherby, plus the littlePennine towns such as Hebden Bridge and Marsden offer aslower pace of life. Here you’ll discover the landscapes thatinspired the Brontës, and their home Haworth remains almostunchanged. ‘Last of the Summer Wine’ viewers will recognisepicturesque Holmfirth, whose moors climb on up into the PeakDistrict National Park. This part of Yorkshire was celebrated forits textiles and the wealth of the Victorian era can still be seen inthe superb architecture of towns such as Halifax andHuddersfield, fine bases for exploring the beautiful Penninecountryside

It’s a county where the ‘great outdoors’ really is great - climbing,caving, canoeing, angling and sailing are just some of theactivities available, with unbeatable walking country to boot (punintended). Footpaths include the tough Pennine Way, the BrontëWay and dozens of waymarked local routes.

Enjoy your stay, enjoy West & South Yorkshire

If you are from the big smokethen you are in for a shock,take a few steps in any

direction and prepare torediscover real food. Yorkshire isthe capital of food & drinkproduction in the UnitedKingdom, with over 15,000companies involved in thebusiness.

You’ll probably have heard aboutMr Morrison, who startedMorrison’s Supermarkets inBoroughbridge and Ripon and stilllives locally. The theme continuesas many of the main food retailershave their headquarters inYorkshire, including Asda.

Harrogate is famous for its finerestaurants and cafes and thenewly acclaimed food storeWeeton’s. Local businesswomanDebbie Keeble won the M&SWomen in Farming 2008 award forthe famous sausages she and herhusband make, and Wensleydaleis famous for guess which cheese?

Put simply, it’s delicious realcheese made with local milk and areal success story of local peoplenot letting big companies takeover their heritage.

Delve a little deeper and discovermore local cheeses from aroundSwaledale and Coverdale, Mrs Bell’s cheeses of Thirsk, andRichard the 3rd from near Bedale.There’s a plentiful supply of freshfish from the coast, including wildsalmon and sea trout in thesummer, heaps of fresh Yorkshire

asparagus, and potatoes that areso fresh and delicious you’llrediscover your love for the simplespud.

...and all this washeddown with local beer fromour two breweries - BlackSheep & Theakstons, bothin Masham. We could goon for every page in thisguide about the food anddrink in Yorkshire, but wethink it best that you getout there anddiscover it foryourself.

About 60% of the UK’sfish is processed onthe Humber and in theEast Coast Region.
