Boasting five National Parks: the Lake District, Peak District, Yorkshire Dales, North York Moors and Northumbria and six World Heritage Sites, North England has it all. Holiday cottages in North England offer comfortable and welcoming accommodation for those considering country breaks in some wonderful locations. Come and go as you please, stroll to the village pub or stay in; relax in the garden when weather permits, or gather around the fire on a winter's evening. The following information aims to serve as a whistle-stop tour of the North's several distinctive regions in order to help you shortlist your options, beginning with Yorkshire.
From mountainous moorlands to stunning cities, from inspirational coastlines to architectural masterpieces, Yorkshire is rich in beauty, heritage and culture. Our featured Yorkshire Dales holiday cottages include properties in locations such as: Wensleydale, home to a famous cheese; Swaledale, possibly the most beautiful of all the Yorkshire dales; and Nidderdale, close to the World Heritage Site of Fountains Abbey. Throughout history the northern landscape has been shaped by man's attempts to harness its natural resources. Dry-stone walls create green jigsaws on the hillsides and watermills straddle fast-flowing fell streams - many now converted into comfortable Dales holiday homes.
The north-east coast offers some great locations for a seaside holiday. Here you will find the traditional resorts of Filey and Scarborough, pretty fishing villages like Robin Hood's Bay and Staithes and the fascinating port of Whitby, popular not only for its literary connection with Count Dracula but also for its wonderful fish and chips.
Rural holidays are more popular than ever, allowing visitors to enjoy their home comforts while 'getting away from it all' in scenic surroundings. In this respect, Lancashire can be much overlooked. Alongside its busier destinations - vibrant Blackpool and the cosmopolitan cities of Manchester and Liverpool - the county boasts some charming rural villages with stunning landscapes and a varied coastline waiting to be discovered.
Cumbria and the Lake District are magical. Rarely do you find cottages in England with views to rival those of a Lakeland property. Many would consider that the Lake District possesses the most beautiful scenery in England. Within a 30-mile radius it offers an unrivalled collection of lakes and fells to enjoy.
Without doubt the jewel in County Durham's crown is the city of the same name, whose cathedral and nearby castle have been a World Heritage site since 1987. To the west of the city lie remote and sparsely populated moors and dales, home to an industrial heritage of lead mines and quarries. When staying at one of our Durham Dales holiday cottages visitors learn to appreciate the qualities of this uncompromising, yet beautiful, landscape often described as England's 'last wilderness'.
Northumberland features historic sites aplenty, documenting our nation's history. Roman remains abound along the World Heritage site of Hadrian's Wall, while lying just off the coast to which it is linked by tidal causeway is Lindisfarne (Holy Island), cradle of English Christianity. The county boasts several impressive medieval castles some, like Bamburgh, occupied others, such as Dunstanburgh, now hauntingly ruined. Mile upon mile of empty sandy beaches stretch as far as the eye can see, punctuated by picturesque coastal villages such as Craster - famed for its kippers - and Alnmouth. From Seahouses, tourist boats leave for the Farne Islands. This group of low-lying, uninhabited rocks is home to millions of seabirds including puffins, shags and guillemots, as well as colonies of seals. By selecting one of our North England cottages the many attractions of this diverse region can be discovered. Holiday cottages in North England
