Have you been itching to visit Yorkshire, but haven’t committed the time or research to fully plan the trip? Don’t worry, we’ve created the ultimate Yorkshire bucket list for adults, which may spark some inspiration for your next trip to Yorkshire.

So, let’s get right into the top things that you should do while in Yorkshire, and we’re not faffing about. And if you’re looking for holiday homes, accommodation or Yorkshire caravans for sale – we can also help with that.

Let’s get to it!

Try the Famous Pacitto Lemon Top Ice Cream

The first item on our Yorkshire bucket list is to try the famous Pacittos lemon top ice cream in Redcar, where it was invented! Introduced in the 1920s, lemon top ice cream consists of whipped ice cream with lemon sorbet, the perfect treat for a warm and sunny day (or any day, for that matter).

This North Yorkshire favourite has even inspired a lemon top relay race that occurs every year on Redcar beach! Try the sweet treat for yourself by heading to Redcar and visiting Pacittos.

Attempt to Reel in a Catch

No matter if you’re an expert reeler or you’ve never attempted fishing in your life, Yorkshire provides the best spots for fishing, with an excellent stock of a wide variety of fish, including roach, perch, and more. Fishing is a great way to spend time with nature and bond with friends and/or family.

Here are the top fishing locations for picturesque views:

• Lockwood Beck – just 10 minutes from Scaling Dam Reservoir, Lockwood Beck is perfect for coarse fishing, stocked with bream, tench, perch, and more.
• Rosedale Fishing Lake – stretching six acres, this lake is known for its generous population of carp, and even eels and catfishes.

Participate in a Pub Walk

A pub walk shouldn’t be confused with a pub crawl – the former is definitely more family-friendly and doesn’t involve actually drinking at every pub you pass by. With a pub walk, you can exercise your limbs, allowing you to enjoy the fresh air as you anticipate your reward once you complete the walk: a cool, refreshing beverage at a pub.

A pub walk focuses more on the ‘walk’ element, with the chance to actually drink a beer or other beverage at the end (or during a pitstop). There are many pub walks that you can join in Yorkshire. Our favourites include:

• The Golden Lion, Osmotherley – fields and woodlands await you in Osmotherley, the perfect starting point for any walk; traverse through the bustling market town, and find your way to The Golden Lion for real ales, wines, and more.
• Malhamdale Circular – a 4.5-mile route, starting in Malham village towards Malham Cove and Janet’s Foss. Once back in Malham, you can choose between two classic English pubs, the Buck Inn and the Lister Arms – both of which promise hearty grub and real ales.

Hike a Decent Trail

Yorkshire is known for its unrivalled landscapes and untamed wilderness, mostly found in its beautiful countryside and parks. This includes the renowned Yorkshire Dales National Park, a Yorkshire treasure that sees millions of visitors every year. In fact, 6.63 million visitor days and nights were generated by visitors to the park in 2022, a significant figure that shows the magnitude of the park’s popularity.

One way to explore the views that the park offers is by going on a walk! From thrilling hiking trails to a leisurely stroll, the wild moorland promises adventure at every turn. Some of the recommended trails include:

• Burnsall-Grassington (easy)
• Upper Wharfedale (easy to moderate)
• Crackpot Hall (moderate)
• Smardale Gill (moderate)
