Yorkshire’s Most Beautiful Train Stations
Nearly two centuries since the birth of the first railway, Yorkshire still stands proud as a beacon of the rail era’s heritage. Sprinkled amidst its sprawling dales, historic towns, and industrial heartland are train stations that not only serve as transportation hubs but also as masterpieces of architecture and symbols of Yorkshire’s illustrious past. Here are some of the most beautiful train stations that Yorkshire has to offer.
Special offers: Afternoon Tea in York and Stately Home Stay
Another great pairing of offers from TravelZoo, including an Afternoon Tea in York and a Stately Home Stay with prosecco and breakfast included, just near Goole. These vouchers can be redeemed at different times – a great treat:
- £35 – York: Medieval hall entry & afternoon tea for 2
- £139 – Stately Yorkshire manor w/breakfast & prosecco
Group accommodation for Christmas shopping in York
Christmas shopping in York is as atmospheric as it gets – ancient shops sit higgledy piggledy next to grand ancient monuments, surrounded by twinkling lights, singing choirs and seasonal markets. Many locals organise coach trips especially for the seasonal experience and rub shoulders with international visitors making a beeline for the Minster and historic walls.
For those travelling in a large group, the train station in the heart of York is extremely well placed and a great place to arrive. For coach groups, there is up to date information for your group leader and driver here – it is an ancient city, so some routes are unsuitable for large vehicles, be sure to check and plan ahead.
