Yorkshire is such a beautiful county – and one we enjoy exploring and feel so lucky that we get to every day. It’s got a range of quaint, sleepy villages that are like something off a postcard. And we aren’t the only ones who have noticed. Two Yorkshire villages have been named in The Telegraph’s 30 most beautiful villages in Britain.
The Telegraph’s experts have found those villages in Britain that are “beautiful but uncrowded British villages that do retain their authentic character, where medieval pubs and churches remain the beating heart of the community, and where welcoming shopkeepers stock treats from local producers. Saltaire, a UNESCO site, the model village was built by textile magnate Titus Salt between 1853 and 1876. It’s a stunning spot that is an absolute gem.

It has some fantastic places to eat and drink including the amazing SALT brewery and pizza spot Il Pirata Pizzata serving up amazing Neapolitan pizza as well as some idyllic spots to visit. The Salts Mils building – previously the home to a textile empire – was refurbished back in the 1980s and has a permanent David Hockney display – the famous painter born in Bradford.
The other Yorkshire village featured in the list, was the North York Moors village of Hutton-le-Hole, which The Telegraph admired for its “pillowy” village green and popular chocolate shop.

The popular beauty spot is known for its village green that takes centre stage with the picturesque view of the footbridges across the stream that runs through the village. Although the village is tiny it has around 29 listed buildings all of which are Grade II and most date back to the 18th century.
A popular location for summer with people coming to enjoy the local hikes, in autumn it takes on a whole new feel with trees turning auburn, orange and yellow ready for the colder temperatures.
