Yorkshire's coastline has something for everyone, wide sandy beaches, grand old piers, and fishing villages that feel frozen in time.

Here are 5 coastal gems worth your next offline adventure:
A wide view across the Yorkshire coast: rolling green fields dotted with wildflowers in the foreground, cliffs and headlands stretching into the distance, and the North Sea glinting under a bright blue sky with fluffy white clouds. White text on the image reads: “5 Coastal Gems of Yorkshire —” with the Yorkshire Unscrolled logo in the corner.

Happy birthday, Mr Wainhouse 🎂
These photos are from my May ascent, a gloriously clear day that showed off Calderdale’s valleys.

369 steps, proper graft and unbeatable views.

Built in 1875, supposedly out of spite… still standing tall 150 years later.

#WainhouseTower #HalifaxUK #Calderdale
View from the top of Wainhouse Tower looking out over Calderdale on a bright, clear day. The silhouette of the stone balustrade frames the countryside below. Plaque inside Wainhouse Tower showing a step count (325/369) and a quote from 1893 describing Wainhouse as “a man of his own mind” who “refused to become a slave to anyone.” Expansive view of the Calder Valley from Wainhouse Tower, with rolling hills, fields, trees, and houses. Looking down from Wainhouse Tower onto a row of terraced houses nestled in the green valley below.

The August Bank Holiday is approaching fast (the last one for a bit, so better make it count!) 🥲

From the dramatic rock formations of Brimham to the peaceful rolling hills of #Wharfedale, Yorkshire has no shortage of places to stretch your legs. Here are four walks worth exploring this weekend:

Another gem from @chrisgoddardmap.bsky.social. The Yorkshire Coast is an original cartographic guide to walking the 200-mile Path from Teesside to Humberside. Most of this route forms part of the newly-open England Coast Path. With gorgeous hand-drawn maps. gritstonecoop.co.uk/product/the-...

A peaceful wander across the tops of Norland Moor this weekend. The heather is in full bloom, and even the late summer sun made an appearance. 💜

Where's your favourite spot to see the heather at its best?

#Yorkshire #Calderdale #GetOutside #WestYorkshire
Rocky outcrop on Norland Moor with purple heather in bloom along the cliffs and greenery growing in the hollow below, under a partly cloudy sky. Heather-covered moor with a narrow path leading through, trees on the side, and the tall Wainhouse Tower visible on the horizon. Rolling moorland covered in blooming heather, stretching toward a distant valley and hills beneath a bright but cloudy late summer sky. Purple heather in the foreground with a sweeping view of green fields, trees, and hills across Calderdale under a soft sky.

For me, Yorkshire is one of those!

At Ilkley Crag, dawn breaks in gold and violet, the heather glowing softly while ancient boulders stand sentinel above a valley wrapped in stillness.

Many in #WestYorkshire wanting walks to enjoy the heather colours are likely to think of Ilkley Moor, although ‘Ilkley Moor’ is not always what people think it is. For an explanation and details of some walks which cross the moor, see www.happyhiker.co.uk/MyWalks/West...

Happy Friday! This weekend we're planning a hike up Norland Moor to catch the heather in bloom. Hoping to see what Sylvia Plath captured so perfectly: "dark hills of heather stretching toward the horizon" Hopefully not so dark on this sunny Saturday though!
