Chocolate and Dracula Go Hand in Hand
A trip you can ‘Count’ on
Yorkshire, the largest English county, is famous for far more than their puddings — although we aren’t detracting from their sheer class. An epicentre during the industrial revolution, home to the Peak District and the Moors, and having produced immensely talented poet-laureates such as the Bronte sisters, Yorkshire exists as an incredibly diverse region.

A snowstorm, a black run, and Olympic run, this water park in Scarborough has Alpine influence throughout. For a more relaxing afternoon, however, visit the 35°C infinity pool and the wellness spa.
Mouth-watering
This is a journey that will ensure you can indulge in the coastal delicacies this area of Yorkshire is famous for — seafood. At our pick, Mademoiselles, salmon mousse and smoked salmon with a pickled fennel salad is the ideal place to start, before transcending into a pan fried hake with ratatouille puree and a shellfish butter sauce.
York Castle Museum
The award-winning York Castle Museum dishes up an astounding 400 years of the city’s history. When we say that this attraction caters to everyone’s tastes, we aren’t exaggerating. Develop a rich understanding of Jacobethan or Victorian history or, similarly, learn all about the swinging Sixties and what it brought to 20th century Britain.
Sea Life
No matter what age you are, you’re guaranteed to be won over by the undeniable cuteness of the variety of animals which reside here at Sea Life. Alongside penguins, otters, and turtles, Sea Life exists as Yorkshire’s only sealion rehabilitation sanctuary.
