Attractions
Yorkshire has recently been named as the Third Best Place to Visit in the World by Lonely Planet and it is easy to see why. Within a short distance from Beverley are such varied delights as the gentle rolling hills of the Wolds, which is the inspiration for David Hockney's later work and where a David Hockney Trail of his favourite painting locations can be followed. Discover the numerous events and attractions on offer in Hull, the winner of the UK City of Culture 2017.
Beverley itself offers a wealth of attractions - visit historic Beverley Minster and St Mary's Church, walk across the open pasture land of the Beverley Westwood, enjoy a day at Beverley Races, and enjoy a good choice of bars, cafes and restaurants as well as a good range of high street and individual shops. Beverley now has its own independently owned cinema (Parkway Cinema, Flemingate Shopping Centre) showing current screen releases and 'event cinema' with live operas, ballet and theatre from around the world. Beverley Leisure Centre is centrally located for those wishing to use the swimming pool, courts or gym facilities.
Slightly further afield is the magnificent Yorkshire coastline, offering a traditional seaside experience at Filey, Bridlington and Scarborough and, further north, the charms of Whitby with it's connections to Captain James Cook and the inspiration for Bram Stoker's 'Dracula'.
For modern art lovers, Yorkshire is also home to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park at West Bretton near Wakefield and the Hepworth in Wakefield itself, both of which are an easy hour's drive from Beverley.
The Deep in Hull is one of the most spectacular aquariums in the world, home to 3,500 fish including Europe's only pair of green sawfish, spectacular sharks and rays and, new for 2014, a colony of Gentoo penguins.
Yorkshire has many stately homes and gardens including Burton Agnes Hall, Burton Constable Hall, Benningborough Hall and Castle Howard.
