Yorkshire Day is the perfect excuse to celebrate everything that makes England’s largest historic county so special – but if you’re planning a trip, one question always sparks debate: which part of Yorkshire is the best?
Since 2016, Yorkshire has been divided into four ceremonial counties – North, South, East and West – each with its own distinct landscapes, attractions and fiercely loyal locals. From dramatic national parks and sweeping coastlines to vibrant cities and charming market towns, every corner has a strong claim to the crown.
So, which county should you visit during the summer holidays? We asked four writers – each representing one of Yorkshire’s ceremonial counties – to make the case for their home patch and explain why visitors should put it at the top of their list.
