Yorkshire (/ˈjɔːrkʃər, -ʃɪər/; abbreviated Yorks), formally known as the County of York, is a historic county of Northern England and the largest in the United Kingdom. Due to its great size in comparison to other English counties, functions have been undertaken over time by its subdivisions, which have also been subject to periodic reform. Throughout these changes, Yorkshire has continued to be recognised as a geographical territory and cultural region. The name is familiar and well understood across the United Kingdom and is in common use in the media and the military, and also features in the titles of current areas of civil administration such as North Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire and East Riding of Yorkshire.

Showcasing the work of leading wildlife artist Robert E Fuller, this gallery is a must for anyone who loves the countryside. On show are detailed paintings, limited edition prints and photographs of wildlife from around the world. Informative films and live nest cameras relaying footage from cameras hidden in animal nests in the surrounding countryside are also available to watch. Robert is recognised as a leading authority on wildlife and his TV animal documentaries have been broadcast internationally. He spends months in the field watching and photographing wildlife and this depth of understanding makes his work sing out. Original oil paintings and bronze sculptures of wildlife all come to life through his inimitable, realistic style.
Wonderful relaxing visit after a local walk to see the beautiful animals and birds on nest cam and paintings.

A range of sculptural artworks for indoor / outdoor enjoyment. Also featuring Jo the Crow.
If you want to see the creative side of art, then this is the place to be. Michael's rammed workshop is an aladdin's cave of tools and part finished works of art that show his creative process. The crow is a bonus .

Artist Stacey Moore opened her first gallery in 2016, in her hometown of Hawes, North Yorkshire. The small gallery showcases Stacey’s impressive animal coloured pencil drawings, influence by the Yorkshire Dales. The gallery is a unique and welcoming place, which you can often watch Stacey drawing on site. There is a large range of limited edition prints, one off originals, stationery and gifts.
Such a talented artist and her work is so strikingly sharp that you can almost imagine stroking the fur of many delightful animals. Coloured pencils taken to a whole new level.

Housed in a restored 1750 Yeoman's residence, the museum opened in the year 2000 and has a large variety of displays illustrating the key factors of Darfield.

OPENING TIMES Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday 10 am - 5 pm We are based right in the heart of Bridlington, a bustling seaside town with beautiful beaches and a working harbour. We are based on the South Side of Bridlington near the harbour
We have visited Bridlington Contemporary, both as visitors and more recently, as exhibitors. Don't be fooled by its location , almost on Bridlington sea front, this is a gallery, where Art is taken very seriously and is displayed in a professional manner. The gallery is run by a dedicated team of four, on a non profit basis, which is so refreshing in this day and age and allows the gallery to operate totally independently and in an innovative way, allowing the widest range of talent opportunity to exhibit.The team are invariably open and welcoming , which makes visits an absolute pleasure. I would advise anyone visiting Bridlington to pay s visit to this gem of a gallery ( just check the opening hours ) as it's not open every day.

***Please book your visit in advance via the website to guarantee availability. The gardens, restaurant for takeaway drinks, toilets, play area and parkland are open for local visitors to exercise in. The hall, galleries and shop remain closed.*** Inspired by his Grand Tour, John Bourchier created Beningbrough; an Italian Palace nestled between York, Harrogate and Leeds. A working walled garden, grand herbaceous borders, sweeping lawns and a play area for children to let off steam, creates a year round garden. RHS Chelsea Gold Award winner Andy Sturgeon is working with the garden team to transform the gardens and so far they've created the ha-ha walk with 300,000 spring bulbs and the Pergola. Further developments currently paused so the Mediterranean Garden is sown with wildflower seeds to add colour and interest for nature and visitors alike. The restaurant uses the daily harvest in their menus with a selection of takeaway option for your refreshments.

Yorkshire Sculpture Park (YSP) is the UK’s leading outdoor art gallery and an international centre for modern and contemporary sculpture. It is an independent charitable trust and registered museum situated in the 18th-century Bretton Hall estate in West Yorkshire. Founded in 1977 by Executive Director Peter Murray, YSP was the first sculpture park in the UK, and is the largest of its kind in Europe, providing the only place in Europe to see Barbara Hepworth’s 'The Family of Man' in its entirety alongside a significant collection of sculpture, including bronzes by Henry Moore and site-specific works by Andy Goldsworthy, David Nash and James Turrell. YSP mounts a world-class, year-round temporary exhibitions programme including some of the world’s leading artists across six indoor galleries and 500 acres of open air. YSP also offers an outstanding learning and family programme, award-winning shops and restaurants, a varied events programme, and a beautiful setting to enjoy nature.
We find this a superb destination- easily accessible, good walks, interesting sculptures and other artistic installations, quality shop and good food. In particular we have always found the other visitors courteous and considerate- probably because the visitor base is family orientated. Highly recommended.
