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.

Shambles (or The Shambles as it is often referred to) is a street in the city centre of York with a long and interesting past. Dating back to Medieval times it was once the street of the butcher shops. Today the Shambles is Europe's most visited street, attracting tourists, shoppers and business clients.
Beautiful and busy It’s a Harry Potter fans heaven There’s also lots of odd little quirky shops with unusual gifts to be had A small market square is tucked away with lots of hand crafted gifts The old buildings add to the nostalgia of this pretty shopping area

Situated close to Bradford & Leeds for transport yet another world away, this is a great place for views, walking & fresh air. See the historical bell pits where coal was mined many years ago. Transport is available to Baildon village Baildon Lucy Hall or Eldwick Beck Bottom or for a longer walk, take the train to Saltaire and enjoy Roberts Park, Saltaire village and at weekends have a ride on the Shipley Glen famous tramway.

The water taxi is great, free - with a donations jar inside. From outside the Armories museum to the back of the train station, well worth doing to see the city from the river, it's a great way to travel form one end to the other. The problem is I only found out about the taxi from family who had previously been, if you didn't already know about it you'd miss it. There isn't a single sign, no timetable. No way of knowing when the taxi will be coming in or leaving. I just had to stand behind the locked gate near the taxi and make eye contact with the guy until he opened the gate. It's a very odd way of doing things and no help to anyone, it really alienates the tourists. Obviously the armories is the go to thing around here, good for a couple of hours of free entertainment. There's a walk by the canal and around the renovated docks, past the barges. The Tetley is also just around the corner. It's good walking distance from the city centre, doesn't take long at all

Fruit is an exciting unique venue dwelling in the beautiful Hull Marina streets. From live music gigs to belly tickling comedy, from cutting edge theatre productions to local produce and vintage markets, from popcorn crunching cinema screenings to underground club nights, from diverse festivals to charity events - and so much more brought to the Hull entertainment scene.
Along with the Old Town, my favourite part of Hull. A really interesting mix of old buildings and new, trendy businesses, street art, the Marina and the Humber. Well worth a visit if you are in the city.

The Quarter is on the south-side of the city and a short walk from the centre. It is a vibrant Up & Coming area that has become a real destination in its own right. With 8 antique centres, 50 shops, cafes and bars it well worth a visit. A great place to stroll and as 'Green' a local shopping experience that you can get. Shop for authentic period antiques, affordable traditional furniture, retro collectables, vinyl, vintage clothing, upcycled shabby chic as well as local artwork, handmade crafts, tons of local artisan produce and 'Made In Yorkshire' foods and beers. There are architectural and reclamation yards as well as interior design services and advice. In addition most repair, reclamation, clearance or valuation services can be sourced in the quarter using local specialists. Look out for quarterly Vintage & monthly Community Flea Markets and for other events at some of great local venues to include the iconic 1920's Abbeydale Picture House.
One of our regular haunts spread over a large area we love this place. Great to take a steady stroll and being fairly flat it's very pleasant. Loads of shops and small antique centres where you can buy stuff you wouldn't believe. Quite a few places to have a coffee and a snack you can easily spend a day here as we usually do.

Such a concentration of beautiful Victorian architecture is pretty rare any where in the country. The buildings are beautiful and make for a fantastic walk. Would be improved if they could attract a few additional cafes etc
