With its cobbled streets, rugged coastline and rustic moors, North Yorkshire ranks among the UK's most beautiful counties. It also has a rich history and much of the architecture of its towns and villages make it feel as if one is stepping back in time. With York's historic cathedral and the various castles dotted through the county, there is plenty to learn and see in this stunning county.
