East Yorkshire & Yorkshire Wolds

View a map of featured destinations in East Yorkshire & the Yorkshire Wolds

East Yorkshire – a unique triangle of England that, thanks to man and nature, offers a diverse visitor experience, combining spectacular countryside, coastline and city.

You can explore the beauty and heritage of the countryside along the award-winning Trans Pennine Cycle Trail, or the Yorkshire Wolds Way National Trail. Or sample new routes linking the market towns of the Wolds, the churches of Holderness, and the wealth of sculpture at three magnificent stately homes.

From the soaring cliffs and headlands to the elegant promenades of bright and breezy seaside resorts like Bridlington, discover a fascinating coastline recognized for its geographical, natural and archaeological importance, with a strong sense of history and a powerful beauty that seems strangely fragile next to the pounding waves of the North Sea. You can drive, cycle, take the bus, follow the sound of the sea on foot or take a sightseeing boat trip.

The city of Hull, East Yorkshire’s cosmopolitan waterfront hub, invites visitors to enjoy its vibrant blend of culture, shopping, theatre, nightlife and events from jazz festivals to sea shanties. In 2007 the city headed the celebrations to mark 200 years since the abolition of the British slave trade and its most famous son, William Wilberforce.

Enjoy, explore and discover East Yorkshire!
