Top 8 Self-Guided Tours & Rentals in Yorkshire, England

April 12, 2022 Kiesha Cripe

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.

Excellent experience, well thought out clues and presented in a fun way. We thought the clues were pitched at the correct level, not too easy and made you look very closely at your surroundings, without being impossible to solve. We had a fun day exploring York with a few pit stops for refreshement between clues. Would definitly recommend this as an activity for all the family to enjoy

I hired a Defender 90 for the weekend as a birthday gift for my other half (who is desperate to own one and this was the next best thing!). The whole experience from booking query to picking up and dropping back the vehicle was excellent - Tom was a pleasure to deal with and super helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed our Defender adventure and would recommend YVH whole heartedly to anyone.
