Brief History of North Yorkshire

Yorkshire was a prosperous county in the 12th and 13th centuries, with many new towns springing up. These included Doncaster, Barnsley, Hull, Leeds, Northallerton, and Pontefract.

After The Black Death, as well as a series of wars and economic upheaval over the centuries, Yorkshire remained an agricultural county. In 1974, the political map of Yorkshire changed dramatically. It was divided into four local government areas, West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, North Yorkshire, and Humberside. Today, Yorkshire is a vibrant county with a prosperous future.

      Accommodation and FacilitiesWhen travelling through North Yorkshire, travellers are spoiled for choice when it comes to accommodation. Abbots Thorn has made it a little easier for readers to decide where to stay by defining the three major categories of accommodation. Restaurants and Inns with Rooms These venues are normally well-equipped to offer guests an unforgettable dining experience. Customers will be happy to know that the northern part of Yorkshire has a variety of inns and restaurants that provide accommodation. This is the more budget-friendly option for individuals who are only looking to stay a couple of nights and who are opposed to staying in a hotel or guest house. These restaurants and inns normally have qualified chefs. Camping and Caravan Parks For those who prefer mountains, grasslands, and river valleys, camping may be the best option. This is also the most affordable form of accommodation for those who are looking to save a little money. Even with the quiet and peaceful environment surrounding campers, there will also be an opportunity for campers to take on various walking trails through the natural environment. Hiking and mountain climbing is among the most popular pastimes tourists indulge in, therefore, there are many parks and camping sites to explore. Hotels and Guest Houses Hotels and guest houses offer by far the most comfortable and luxurious options when it comes to booking accommodation. Guests can expect to find anything from gyms to restaurants and in-door pools. This form of accommodation can be divided into standard, mid-range, and luxury price ranges. Travellers can always look online for reviews about the relevant hotel or guest house they are interested in. Even though some hotels may be far out of most people’s price range, it is always interesting to read about the facilities and amenities on offer. Restaurants and inns often provide cosy rooms for travellers who have journeyed far. The outdoor person can expect to find suitable caravan parks and camping spots. Luxurious hotels and guest houses are also available for more distinguished travellers, while others may prefer a little more solitude via self-catering getaways.
