Also by the sea is Kingston Upon Hull, a maritime city with powerful links to Britain’s proud seafaring tradition, and the picturesque fishing port of Whitby, once home to Captain James Cook. Elsewhere in the region are the vibrant cities of York, with its wealth of ancient sites, including the Minster, Leeds and Sheffield, plus the busy market town of Doncaster.
