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.

Private house. The conversion was the subject of two one-hour episodes of TV's Restoration Man. This gets shown all over the world and we have been privileged to welcome people who have seen the programme in their home countries. During 2020 we are having building work done in the grounds which will therefore be a building site, not open to the public. However, if you have come half way round the world to see the place do please come and ring the doorbell on the off chance. Just now though COVID restrictions apply of course.

We recently visited Thirsk after seeing some photos online of Thirsk Yarnbombers 'Happiness' display. I highly recommend you take a drive here and have a look yourself! as the knitting was absolutely amazing! Such bright colours and fun designs - they really do inspire happiness :-) The Yarnbombers have put their display around the town square in the centre of Thirsk, so you can't miss it! We parked across the road, paying £1 at the machine, then a short 1 minute walk to the central area. If driving nearby or if you live locally, definitely make sure you pop by before the end of April to see this fabulous fun display!

Clifford's Tower is all that remains of York Castle. It's set upon a mound which was originally built by William the Conqueror. There is plenty of history to discover. We offer amazing 360 degree views from the top of the Tower over the City of York. Clifford's Tower is open 7 days a week, times vary throughout the year so it's advisable to check the website for details before you visit. There is an entry fee to visit the Tower.
