You will find diverse attractions that encompass the modern cities of Leeds and Newcastle, the beautiful Dales National Park, the ancient cathedral cities of York and Ripon, the attractive, if slightly twee, towns of Harrogate and Knaresborough, the famous coastal resorts of Whitby and Scarborough, as well as Hadrian’s Wall.

2009 marks the 250th anniversary of Scottish poet Robert Burns' birth. Burns was a poet and a lyricist and is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland.
The Burns Supper was started a few years after his death by a group of his friends; they held the supper to honour and remember Burns. The tradition caught on and the ritual of Burns Supper is now held all around the world.
His life and work will be celebrated throughout the year at many Burns-related events.
