can you help

Hi Heather and welcome to POE from Anna and Ron. I am quite sure that there are POE family members prepared to help you here just as soon as they get their heads off the pillow! lol

I think it's fair to say that we have a few 'experts' in that area...literally!

Either way enjoy the POE site, the members, and your vacation in due course, and don't forget to join in here whenever you can.

Heather, I am sure you will find that Yorkshire is very beautiful, but different from Devon and Cornwall. Of course people all have their favorite locations, but every time we visited family in England we were sure to spend a day in York proper and driving through the Yorkshire Dales.  I think one of the things that fascinates me most about Britain in general is how many unique areas are packed into such a tiny place!  You must be planning to rent a car if you want to stay in B&Bs, that is what we always did as well although the last time I was there it had become so expensive, even at the farmhouse ones, that we were not saving any money by avoiding hotels (which was why we had always done the B&B route before).

I think if you are doing Yorkshire and Edinburgh, that you should certainly go by way of the Lake District - that will certainly give you many beautiful little villages to choose from!  When will you be traveling? 

Hi Heather and welcome 

I was born in Yorkshire, have lived in Yorkshire all my life, I have travelled the world quite extensively, following all our travels we are now thinking of relocating/moving house this year - but only to another area of Yorkshire  

The Yorkshire Dales, North Yorkshire Moors and the chalk coastline around Flamborough and Bempton are a must to visit. Futher up the coast above Newcastle you have the stunning unspoilt wild Northumberland coast, from there you are nearing Scotland, a place I also love.

I remember learning to rock climb on the Cow & Calf rocks when I was 16 (long time ago) loved the rocks, hated the climbing.

We have friends in Cornwall who we visit 2 or 3 times a year, the area where they live just outside Padstow on the North coast is beautiful with some stunning coastal walks and breathtaking views.

Try having a nosy around the 'Welcome to Yorkshire' web site for some ideas. 

To answer your question - Yorkshire is just as beautiful as Devon & Cornwall, and this year we have had better weather. 

Type 'Yorkshire' into the Search Site Box top left and you'll get over 50,000 items to trawl through! Good Luck lol

And don't forget you can get your B&B's cheaper by booking through this site Heather. Just click on  - Bed & Breakfast

Hi Heather and a warm welcome to the POE site.  The Yorkshire moors and dales are lovely, I think places like Rievaulx and Fountains Abbey are well worth a visit.  Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay are also beautiful coastal towns not far from Scarborough!  The Lake District is also magnificent for scenery and pretty villages.  The guys have already given you good advise about how to find information on POE and booking your accommodation through POE!  

Happy planning!  

You could always try Lancashire --more friendly

on a more serious  note there are a lot of nice places in Yorkshire ---me being a Lancastrian i count Yorkshire as my second county.
