If, however, you prefer to keep your feet dry, there are plenty of other activities around Yorkshire to peak your interest. Take a trip to the Wensleydale Creamery for a lesson in cheesemaking and all the cheese samples you could possibly consume of this local delicacy.

For those whose admiration lie in architecture rather than landscapes, the extensive ruins and museum at Rievaulx Abbey near Helmsley make for a fascinating excursion – as does the 7th century remains of the Christian monastery, Whitby Abbey which overlook the North Sea at Whitby.

Whitby itself is considered one of the most popular UK seaside destinations and for good reason. With a quaint seaside aesthetic, bursting with activities such as the Captain Cook memorial museum, or boat trips out to see whales and other wildlife, Whitby is another attraction to add to your list.
