Picnic Areas in Yorkshire

Yorkshire is made for picnics. Riverside spots in the Dales, clifftop benches on the coast, and sun-dappled clearings in ancient woodland all provide the perfect setting for an alfresco meal — and with farm shops and delis in every market town, provisioning is a pleasure.

Highlights include Yellow Waterfalls, Clifton Sands and Fulford Ings.

Visitors exploring picnic areas may also enjoy parks, viewpoints and beaches.
