10 Days Out in Yorkshire That Are Fun for All Ages

Let’s get one thing straight: Yorkshire is nicknamed “God’s Own Country” for a reason.

Alongside rolling hills, calming streams and the Great British countryside, this English county has a variety of attractions that are loved by locals and visitors alike.

Don’t believe me? Check out these 10 days out in Yorkshire that are not to be missed.

York Minster

1. Bolton Abbey

Days out in Yorkshire 101: Bolton Abbey.

Taking its name from Bolton Priory church, this cute little village is a must-see!

Not only are the 12th-century Augustinian monastery ruins impressive, but they lie in the heart of Yorkshire Dales.

Not to mention, there’s plenty of open space on the banks of River Wharfe for a picnic on a warm summer’s day. Yum!

2. Scarborough Beach

A day out at the seaside is always a good day, right? Especially if it’s Scarborough beach.

After all, there’s a reason why Scarborough is the largest holiday town on the Yorkshire coast. 

And if the beach becomes too much, you can check out the Sea Life Sanctuary. Here you can see sharks, penguins, seals and many other marine life for a very reasonable £19 per adult ticket.

3. York City Centre

Another one of the best days out in Yorkshire is the city of York.

Any chocolate lovers out there? If so, you might want to visit York’s Chocolate Story museum where you can go on guided tours and learn about the history of the UK home to chocolate!

You can also see some of York’s famous sights, including:

  • York Minster (an ancient 13th-century Gothic cathedral)
  • The Shambles (one of Europe’s most visited streets)
  • National Railway Museum (which tells the story of rail transport in Britain with free entry)

Whatever you do, you’re bound to enjoy this beautiful, historic city!

    4. Barnsley

    Even though Barnsley might not seem the obvious choice for one of the most fun days out in Yorkshire, it offers the following exciting experiences.

    • Cannon Hall Farm, where you can interact with many animals, go on tractor rides, eat and drink at the farm shop and watch sheep racing
    • Elsecar Heritage Centre, which is packed with antique shops, craft fairs, sweet shops and a Yorkshire tearoom for a nice afternoon tea
    • Wentworth Castle Gardens, which is a cool castle with 60 acres of gorgeous gardens

    In other words, there are many options for all the family.

    5. Flamingo Land

    Full disclosure: I couldn’t compile a list of the greatest days out in Yorkshire without including this little nugget.

    Flamingo Land is a theme park with 40 rides and a zoo with over 60 different species of animal in Malton, North Yorkshire. 

    Oh, and did I mention that they have ostriches, rhinoceroses and tigers that you can get up, close and personal with?

    Whichever attraction you prefer, your admission includes both — and they’re sure to thrill.

    6. National Science and Media Museum

    Based in Bradford, West Yorkshire, the National Science and Media Museum is devoted to science, culture, light and sound technologies.

    In addition to having three cinemas (including an IMAX), there are different exhibits to check out, such as:

    • A history of photography
    • Television
    • Video games

    Do you have kids? Good news — this museum also hosts events for children.

    And the even better news? It’s completely free to look around.

    7. Hull

    Hull is home to The Deep, one of the UK’s biggest aquariums with over 3,500 fish.

    As well as spending a day with the sharks, tropical fish, amazonian aquatics, penguins and more, you can visit the following:

    • Hull Trinity House, which is the first marine academy in the world that was founded in 1787 and still operating today
    • Beverley Minster, which is a gothic masterpiece dating back to the 13th-century

    Or you can go shopping on the edge of the Humber estuary in Hull City Centre.

    Either way, you’re guaranteed to have fun.

    8. Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Water Garden

    If you’re searching for one of the prettiest days out in Yorkshire, look no further than Fountains Abbey.

    Based in Ripon, these are the largest monastic ruins in the country, which also have a charming water garden.

    From moon ponds to cascades, there are several stunning sights to see.

    And because the grounds are quite spread out, it’s a hiker’s paradise.

    However, if you’re not really into walking, there’s even a minibus available that will take you between the visitor centre, Studley Royal and West Gate.

    9. Yorkshire Wildlife Park

    Not only is it built on a former riding school and farm, but Yorkshire Wildlife Park also has over 70 varieties of animal species.

    These include lions, polar bears, otters, giraffes and wallabies.

    And who doesn’t love seeing exotic animals?

    10. Harewood House

    Last but not least, Harewood House is a fabulous spot for all my fellow Leeds locals.

    And it’s so much more than just a manor.

    In fact, the gardens surrounding the manor, lake walk and farm experience are equally as impressive. Especially on a warm, sunny day!

    Deciding on Which Days Out in Yorkshire to Prioritise

    As you’re now aware, there are several days out in Yorkshire that you can try.

    Whether you’re going on a staycation or simply want to sample somewhere new for a few hours, it’s all about picking a place according to your priorities. For example, history fans would love York. Whereas, animal lovers would be better off going to Yorkshire Wildlife Park.

    Either way, the trick is to keep an open mind as you’re exploring. After all, you never know what you might come across.

    Which days out in Yorkshire do you like? Are you going to try any on this list?

    It’s shacket szn. 🍂 I love a good shacket f It’s shacket szn. 🍂 
I love a good shacket for those transitional autumn days when the temperatures are too chilly to leave the house without a jacket but too mild for your big winter coat. 💁🏼‍♀️ 
This one is from @marksandspencerstyle and I’ve had it years but it was such a great investment; I constantly rewear it during the cold months due to the fact that it’s super snugly and comfy. 🧸
I also recently bought the viral bag from @uniqloeurope - can confirm it’s as roomy, easy to throw on and comfy to wear as they say. 💃🏼
They do it in so many colours and multiple fabrics so I’m tempted to buy more! I’ll leave a link in my Story if you’re interested in having a peek. 👀 
Hope you’re having a great week so far. 🫶🏻

    Summer in October 👻 These mild temperatures ar Summer in October 👻
These mild temperatures are taking me back to mine and hubby’s time in Chicago. 🏙️
I love Chicago - it’s got the same cool, exciting vibe as NYC but it’s much less touristy (and crowded)!
Here are some of my fave things to do downtown:
1. Shop along Michigan Ave
2. Willis Tower Observation Deck 👀 
3. The Bean/Millennium Park
4. Navy Pier 🌊 
5. Oak Street Beach
6. Eat deep dish pizza 🍕
…The last one’s the most important. Obv. 😋
Chicago is also magical at Christmastime with plenty of fun decorations, markets and festivities for all ages.
Until next time, Chi-town! 🇺🇸

So thankful for mine and hubby’s time away in Green Bay/Chicago - we had such a wonderful time catching up with family and friends, as well as spending some quality time together. 🥰
Now that we’re home and settled I realise that this trip is just what we both needed to switch off from the mudanities of everyday life and remind us what’s truly important.
There’s nothing like spending time in another country thousands of miles away to give you some perspective!
I’m already looking forward to heading back to the States in December for my mum’s 60th birthday. 🇺🇸 
Until then, it’s been real, ‘Murica! ✌🏻

    3 Transitional autumn looks 🍁 It’s that time 3 Transitional autumn looks 🍁
It’s that time of year again. The evenings are getting darker earlier, the mornings are crisper, and the warm sunshine is being replaced by cooler, overcast days as the leaves slowly begin to fall. 🍂
You can no longer leave the house without a jumper or a jacket, and your summer wardrobe is gradually being pushed aside so you can adapt to the change of seasons. 
Hello, autumn. I’ve missed you! 🥰
But, oh how tricky it is trying to dress right now when the temperatures are so up and down. Layering is key, so you can quickly remove or add a layer whenever you need to. 👌🏻
Here are 3 of my fave transitional looks as we head into the autumn season. 🎃

    Wellness girl era ✨ I’ve been going through s Wellness girl era ✨
I’ve been going through something since I turned 33. A transformational shift. I feel like the things that once mattered to me don’t matter as much anymore.
My priorities are changing. I no longer want to do the same old stuff; my spirit of adventure and longing for new experiences has very much been reignited.
I’m entering my wellness girl era.
What does this mean? Quite simply, I’m swapping healthier habits and actions for the less healthy habits and actions I used to have.
Maybe it’s off the back end of the pandemic, maybe it’s because I’m getting older or maybe it’s just because I’m realising that another year has gone by and if I don’t take care of myself now then it could have detrimental effects in the future.
But basically, I want to do better and be better. I’m all about being healthy, well and happy, and setting goals that will help me to achieve this.
And since the term “wellness girl era” is currently going viral on TikTok, clearly, other women in my age group are feeling the same way.
