It’s Yorkshire Day, where is your favourite spot?

There are people who were born in Yorkshire
People who wish they were born in Yorkshire
And people with no ambition at all. I was of course, born in Yorkshire.

Replied!

Sago, I suspect you lived in the village I live in!!

I have messaged you.

Bishop Burton in the East Riding of Yorkshire is my favourite place: it's where my mum and her mother and grandmother were born and it's a beautiful village with the pond and ducks.

The moors from Haworth. I want my ashes to be scattered there…..

Elland Road

I have loved reading all your posts, thank you.
I have visited most of the places mentioned and I feel that apart from the odd trip to Ireland (my heritage) it wouldn’t bother me to never leave the County again.
We lived for some years near Clitheroe in a village that had once been in Yorkshire, I swear the people in our village were far more Yorkshire than the Lancastrians in the next village😉

My brother and his pals started the Yorkshire Ridings Society back in the 70’s in my mum and dad’s front room and came up with the idea of a “Yorkshire Day”. They never imagined it would take off like it has.

Well done your brother👏👏👏👏👏

Our son went to Leeds University and now lives in Yorkshire. Just returned from staying with him and his wife and our granddaughter. We now know Yorkshire quite well and have visited many of the places mentioned. Just wish it wasn't 200 miles from London (home).

. I once read a sentence which said ;

"I am from here and anywhere else is nowhere"
Well Harrogate is my home town and now I live 'nowhere'
but its nice there as well.

Wow Tilly. Well done them.

Ohhhhhh its everywhere in Yorkshire ( inland ) im near Haworth so any direction is absolutely perfect. The roĺling hills, endless dry stone walls, grazing cattle and sheep, fields, fields, fields, old farm houses, down to earth friendly folk..... just everything.

As the sayings go.

God's own country
AND
You can take the lass out of Yorkshire but you can NEVER take Yorkshire out of the lass.

Lancashire Day is 27th November. Plenty of lovely places here also.😎👍

I love the red roofs on the houses in North Yorkshire.

Malham, the Cove, Gordale Scar, Wharfedale, Bolton Abbey, Harrogate, Whitby, Robin Hood’s Bay, Leeds-Liverpool Canal West of Skipton, North Yorks Moors, Castle Howard (lovely at Christmas).😎

Malham and Bempton Cliffs followed by a stay in Beverley

Cauldron Falls, West Burton, Leyburn, in the Yorkshire Dales. It's heaven on earth. A hidden gem.
Full of special memories for me.

My favourite area too. My paternal grandfather came from West Burton.

I love the ever-changing skies over the Don Valley as seen from SO's home near Rotherham.

Loved taking the NYMR train from Pickering to Gothland when the children were young but the sheep did try to join in the picnics.

Whitby is another favourite with the North Yorkshire Gallery's photography shop being a go-to destination.

I live on the edge of the N York Moors and love a trip to our coastline . Saltburn, Sandsend, Skinningrove, Marske are all lovely. We hire a house in magical Robin Hoods Bay every year for all the family.

Another vote for Pickering also Goathland and the idyllic village of Hutton le hole

Runswick Bay

The purple and pink heather of the Yorkshire Moors, where my heart is.
