Region: Equally as charming as East Yorkshire, West Yorkshire benefits from its close proximity to the surrounding regions of the Peak District to the south and the Yorkshire Dales to the north. From stately homes, to historic museums, West Yorkshire provides a wealth of culture, including the family home of the famous Brontë sisters, Parsonage Museum. Surrounded by open moorlands, cobbled streets and acres worth of countryside, West Yorkshire is an exceptional base for that rural break.
Town: Cross Hills can be found resting on the edge of the wondrous Yorkshire Dales National Park, in easy reach of the vibrant city of Leeds and the world-famous village of Haworth. The village hosts a range of handy amenities including shops, cafés, pubs and other eateries, while slightly further afield Skipton boasts even more excitement as well as an 11th century castle, ancient woodlands and much more.
