Yorkshire and Humberside

Good Food Ride

PDF

Many of Yorkshire’s better-known restaurants lie in the Dales or the populous western half of the county. This day-long tour generally avoids well-beaten tracks, although much of the countryside you will pass through is as beautiful as any that the region has to offer.
