The three wild sides of England
Tourists flock to England for cities like London and Brighton and the Cornwall region. In the middle and north, the place displays a wilder side, but no less attractive.
East Yorkshire: Puffins, Walkers and Sparkling Wine
With its wide open spaces and diverse wildlife, East Yorkshire countryside is a must for nature lovers. The cliffs at Bempton, for example, are among the tallest rock cliffs in the country and are home to one of larger colonies of jackets and needles in Europe.
The coastline between Bempton, North Landing and Flamborough offers breathtaking views. The historic hiking trail point, the oldest still full lighthouse building in the UK, stands in the middle of a golf course and offers a wide view of the sea. In the tide, the beaches at the foot of the cliffs are populated by seals, which make sunbathing there undisturbed when not diving into the North Sea, which is rich in fish.

The remote location allowed them to bring Dutch gin to England for centuries. Nowadays, because of its picturesque location and perhaps also because no architectural mistakes have been made, tourism is the most important industry in Robin Hood Bay.
If you are not afraid of vampires, you should drive a little further north. Whitby is a place steeped in legend and blood – at least in fiction. That’s because Irish writer Bram Stoker lived in Whitby for a few years of his life. Stoker was probably inspired by the ruins of a 7th-century ghost abbey, surrounded by tombstones and inhabited by a host of flying bats.

Derbyshire: Moore, Revolution and Bananas
A little further south is England’s oldest national park, the Peak District. Around the famous Higger Tor rock formation, just outside the city of Sheffield, the landscape looks like a part of North America transplanted to England. Instead of the typical landscaped lawns of the country, the land here is covered with heather plants. Numerous well marked, family friendly hiking trails make possible the safe passage of the sides. Those looking for a little more thrill can try their hand at bouldering on Stanage Edge, one of the wildest places in England.
At the southern end of the Peak District is the Derwent River valley. The English postcard landscape is considered to be the place of origin of the Industrial Revolution.
