Selby
Selby, Sherburn & Tadcaster are unspoilt market towns with traditional community values, a romantic history and easy countryside – all accessible from motorways and major routes.
Elegant hotels, B&Bs, village guest houses, farm holidays, camping and caravanning, and boating and barge canal breaks mean there is great accommodation and plenty to do.
Eating out is a real delight. Restaurant dining in our picturesque villages and town is a treat not to be missed, and local pubs specialise in traditional, mouth-watering dishes.
Our location between the M62 and A1/M1 means that Selby is the ideal base for visiting Yorkshire’s delights. Walkers and cyclists enjoy the landscape, especially the Trans-Pennine Trail cycleway with its direct link into the heart of York.
Selby Abbey was founded in AD1069 by the monk Benedict, following approval by William the Conqueror. William’s fourth son was born at Selby Abbey, and went on to become King Henry I. The Abbey also features the 14th century Washington window containing the family coat of arms – the forerunner of the present-day US Stars and Stripes flag.
Prefer more action? What about a chance to take on Predator or go quad-biking at the Yorkshire Paintball Centre? Selby, Sherburn & Tadcaster – something for everyone.
