West Yorkshire is a landlocked county found fairly centrally in the north of England. West Yorkshire is the most built up and urban of the Yorkshire counties but still boasts some wonderful countryside and easy access to the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the Peak district National Park. Also depending on where you decide to stay in the county for your luxury break, you may decide to take a drive to the coast which is around an hour away from the east side of the county. If you’re fond of pretty country villages, cosmopolitan cities brimming with character as well as wild moors and dales then the Yorkshire counties will definitely suit. Discover Bradford Cathedral, Bradford Moor Park and the National Media Museum as well as Cliffe Castle Park, a wonderful Bronte sister’s tour and beautiful stately homes in and around Bradford. On the other hand you may prefer to enjoy the fresh air and stay active, in which case why not enjoy a wonderful trek across the countryside on horse back, take a cycle ride across the moors or try something new and join a rock climbing or caving excursion. To enjoy a weekend away just for two, why not consider a Luxury romantic cottage.
