  • See and touch 300 years of rail history at York's National Railway Museum, the world's biggest railway museum
  • Take a daytrip to Whitby for fresh fish 'n' chips and a bite of Dracula
  • See (and smell) what life was like for York's original Viking settlers at the Jorvik Viking Centre
  • Picnic in the scenic grounds of a 12th-century abbey, picked to pieces during Henry VIII's destructive Reformation

Yorkshire Overview

By Travel Expert: Alistair Wearmouth

One of England's loveliest regions, and home to some of its friendliest locals, the northern county of Yorkshire is packed with fun things to do with kids. Visits to this area combining scenic countryside and historic towns should start with a trip to York, a fascinating medieval town with everything from Roman ruins to the world's largest railway museum.
