Whether you are visiting Yorkshire's historic towns and cities, or having a relaxing break in the tranquil setting of the North York Moors, there are tours to suit those with particular interests as well as every age group.
Open top bus tours are a great way to see a city whilst listening to a commentary on its points of interest and historical facts. With most buses it is possible to hop on and off at your leisure and some offer discounts into attractions along the way. York, as one of Yorkshire’s most historic cities offers river tours, ghost tours and bus tours amongst others. The county’s towns and cities can also be used as a base from which to tour the vast expanses of National Park land and their attractive market towns and villages.
Cycling tours are a popular way to get the most from Yorkshire’s magnificent countryside, as are guided walking tours where you can enjoy the scenery and fresh air at a more leisurely pace. The recent opening of Regional Route 52 means that it is now possible to walk and cycle the 171 miles coast to coast from Whitby to Walney Island in Cumbria. Horseback is an alternative mode of transport from which to take pleasure in your surroundings and tour the eye catching limestone landscapes of the Pennine Bridleway in the Yorkshire Dales, and other National Parks.
Touring Yorkshire's waterways is a must for those wanting a truly relaxing tour of the county. There are around 270 miles of inland canals and river networks that pass through the vibrant city of Leeds, the market town of Skipton and Sowerby Bridge near Halifax and miles and miles of unspoilt countryside.
Wherever you are based, and whichever your preferred mode of transport, you will find an enjoyable and informative tour to suit with the help of our list of Yorkshire tours below.
