Here is land for all creatures, great and small. This part of northern England is a pleasant, rolling landscape dotted with small villages and larger market towns. And it is in such towns that our cozy cottages are located.
Agriculture is the way of life here.
The many castles are curiosities standing as mute witnesses to a much less peaceful history when these valleys were rich prizes in ancient wars of conquest and independence, and pawns in the hands of kings and noble families. The names suggest accurately the quaint charm and slow pace of the region. York, namesake city and regional capital of Yorkshire, contains a great medieval old city center, crowned by arguably the greatest of Gothic cathedrals in Europe, York Minster. The old city is very walkable, and full of attractive shops, restaurants, open-air markets, and museums. Walk in the Yorkshire Dales.
