Sarah Dean • December 2, 2025

Discover the charm of East Yorkshire — from peaceful countryside and stunning beaches to award-winning food and welcoming market towns.

If you’re planning a countryside escape that combines peaceful scenery, historic towns, and easy access to the coast, East Yorkshire is a destination that ticks every box. From charming market towns like Beverley to wide-open Yorkshire Wolds countryside, this beautiful corner of England offers something for everyone. Here are five reasons to make East Yorkshire your next UK holiday spot — and why Pasture House Holiday Cottages, just outside Beverley, are the perfect base for your stay.

1. Beautiful Countryside and Peaceful Scenery

East Yorkshire is home to the Yorkshire Wolds, a landscape of rolling hills, quiet lanes, and scenic walking trails. It’s perfect for those who love the outdoors but prefer tranquillity to tourist crowds. You can stroll through open countryside, explore woodland paths, or enjoy a picnic on the famous Beverley Westwood, all just a short drive from Pasture House Holiday Cottages.

2. A Stunning Coastline to Explore

From dramatic cliffs at Flamborough Head to the golden sands of Fraisthorpe Beach, East Yorkshire’s coastline is both diverse and unspoilt. Fraisthorpe, just south of Bridlington, is a long, peaceful stretch of sand — ideal for seaside walks, paddling, and beach picnics.
You can also explore the lively promenades at Hornsea and Bridlington, or spot seabirds at Bempton Cliffs RSPB Reserve, home to puffins and gannets in summer. All of these coastal gems are within easy reach of your stay at Pasture House Holiday Cottages near Beverley.

3. Historic Towns and Cultural Gems

The market town of Beverley is one of Yorkshire’s best-kept secrets. With its magnificent Beverley Minster, cobbled streets, boutique shops, and weekly markets, it’s a joy to explore. Just half an hour away, Hull offers award-winning museums, galleries, and The Deep aquarium. Wherever you go, you’ll find a warm welcome and a rich sense of local heritage.

4. Delicious Local Food and Drink

Food lovers will find East Yorkshire full of flavour. Enjoy a hearty pub lunch or a Michelin-starred dinner at The Pipe and Glass in South Dalton — a favourite for both locals and visitors.
For relaxed dining with a view, Bert’s in Brandesburton serves delicious Italian-inspired dishes overlooking the lake. And no trip to the coast would be complete without a stop at Mr Moo’s Ice Cream Parlour near Skipsea, famous for its award-winning ice cream and seaside charm.
Wherever you go, expect friendly Yorkshire hospitality and outstanding local produce.

5. Relaxation and Space to Unwind

One of the best things about East Yorkshire is its sense of calm. It’s the kind of place where you can truly slow down — enjoy a morning coffee overlooking open fields, read by the fire, or watch the sunset after a day of exploring.
At Pasture House Holiday Cottages, you’ll find comfort, privacy, and countryside views that make it easy to unwind and recharge.
