Where to go in Yorkshire

[Ann]

Hi - I would love some advice where to go in Yorkshire. We live in Leicestershire and have only been once to Yorks and stayed near Hawes Wensleydale (loved it) but thought this time we may try staying near Holmfirth. OH loves "Last of the Summer Wine" - is this where all the filming took place or is it filmed all over Yorkshire? We love picturesque little villages with streams running through, little bridges and pretty country lanes as we are keen photographers. I'm not at all keen on the moors (sorry if you are, but i find them a bit bleak) We will be taking our touring caravan, looking mainly for adult only caravan parks, but not so bothered about that now as the children are back at school. Any advice would be most welcome please!

If I go for a trip out from York I love the countryside around Helmsley, and Ampleforth, I love Rievaulx Abbey, and of course there is always Castle Howard (Brideshead Re-visited)...........I think they have a caravan site at the castle.

Have you thought about heading further afield? If you have why don't you try Northumberland? there's everything you'd want, great scenery, historic sites castles all sorts of interesting places to visit like Beamish Museum.

I think Northumberland is a bit far for me .......but it looks very nice.

have you been to Haworth. It was in the news yesterday with a new version of `Jane Eyre` being filmed-see the home of the Bronte family. York Railway museum also well worth a visit. Leeds with its history-beginnings of M&S and lots more. Rylstone village; The Calendar Girls. Their show is on next month in Bradford.
