From rolling hills dotted with quaint cottages to stunning waterfalls and sandy beaches, Yorkshire is one of the most picturesque regions in Britain. So much so, that the county was named the best place in Europe at the 2013 World Travel Awards - seeing off competition from popular cities including Paris, Rome, Florence, London and Barcelona.
