Region: Equally as charming as East Yorkshire, West Yorkshire benefits from its close proximity to the surrounding regions of the Peak District to the south and the Yorkshire Dales to the north. From stately homes, to historic museums, West Yorkshire provides a wealth of culture, including the family home of the famous Brontë sisters, Parsonage Museum. Surrounded by open moorlands, cobbled streets and acres worth of countryside, West Yorkshire is an exceptional base for that rural break.

Town: Resting in the midst of the beauty of North Yorkshire, lying just below the River Ure, is the Wensleydale town of Middleham. Renowned for its history and race horses, Middleham is home to a Norman castle dating back to 1190, with only the Tower of London surpassing its castle keep in size. Cobbled streets and and the market square present several places to eat including cafés and restaurants as well as pubs and shops. The market town of Leyburn is within easy reach as well as the Yorkshire Dales National Park for a host of excellent walks.
