Visit East Yorkshire
Calm beaches or wild coastlines, a week with the family or a mini break for two, woodland adventures or country retreats, natural wonders or historical homes, fish and chips or fine dining, walking or riding, exploring or relaxing, fun in the sun or a cosy winter break – whatever a holiday means to you, we know you’ll find it here in beautiful East Yorkshire.
Breathe in the natural beauty
Rolling hills, wild open spaces, fresh air and rich wildlife make this region the perfect place for anyone who loves the great outdoors. Choose from miles of walking paths dotted with cosy country pubs and spots to admire the view or follow the cycle trails and go off-roading through amazing woodland or along our unique coastal routes. If you like to take your holidays at a slightly slower pace then our bird watching is some of the best in the UK or just take a seat on a bench created by a local artist and soak in the tranquillity of being surrounded by mother nature at her very best.
Find your family again
Whether you spend your days building sandcastles on our wide golden beaches, rock pooling for natural treasures, visiting one of our many fun family attractions or just relaxing in each other’s company as you sample amazing fish and chips, on a bustling seaside promenade, this is place where you can enjoy quality time together and the great British seaside at its very best.
Enjoy history, horse racing and handcrafted souvenirs
If you are seeking an eclectic break away, then you’ve come to the right place. Where else could you explore the rich history of a medieval Minster, wander down historic cobbled streets, visit art galleries, shop in an array of boutique stores and then be able to choose between a gourmet dinner, an exciting race meet or a night at the theatre? You can when you visit East Yorkshire.
Discover the art of being outdoors
Take your time here, explore the region and you will discover the unique light and landscapes that have inspired artists for centuries, including world renowned painter David Hockney, who has spent much of his life painting the beautiful woodlands and vistas of East Yorkshire. When you visit, you can learn to paint, learn to cook, or simply learn to relax and enjoy the trees and dappled sunshine that inspired him and so many others.
Go wild on two wheels, or on two feet
East Yorkshire’s coastline spans from the towering chalk cliffs of Bempton, home to over half a million seabirds that nest there, to the sand spit of Spurn point where you can cycle, or walk, almost all of it. From challenging routes to explore with friends to a gentle seafront cycle with the family or a scenic pub to pub stroll with some gentle inclines thrown in, East Yorkshire is a perfect place to explore on bike or on foot.
