The Yorkshire Wolds
Magnificent scenery in a countryside of unrivalled beauty and varied heritage awaits you. The Wolds are an outstanding and unspoilt holiday destination to which visitors return year after year.
The Yorkshire Wolds are a series of gently undulating hills and valleys, south of the North York Moors and stretching in an arc from the city of Hull and the market town of Beverley to the coastal resorts of Filey and Bridlington on the Yorkshire coast. Whether you want to get away from it all or discover fascinating local culture and heritage, you can be sure of experiencing a visit to remember.
From the Yorkshire Wolds to the flat Holderness Plain, the countryside is spectacular. Open roads lead to the charming and ancient market towns of Howden, Hedon, Pocklington, Driffield and the historic town of Beverley, appealing not only for its glorious Gothic Minster but also for its lovingly preserved old streets and buildings.
The Wolds have countless villages, with characterful inns, ponds and fine churches. For a glimpse of the grand lifestyle of landowners in times past, visit Burton Agnes and Burton Constable, both outstanding Elizabethan country houses, and the Georgian Sledmere House and Sewerby Hall.
