Living & working in North Yorkshire

From thriving cities to glorious countryside.

North Yorkshire is England's largest and finest county - one of the nation's favourites due to its breathtaking landscapes made famous by television programmes such as Heartbeat and the James Herriot vet series.

The county has two national parks - the North York Moors and the rolling Yorkshire Dales. It also has 45 miles of coastline, with busy seaside resorts. There is a wealth of bustling market towns, historic cities, abbeys and castles to attract visitors with a wide range of interests. Major towns in North Yorkshire include Harrogate and Scarborough. York and Leeds are also close by.

North Yorkshire is one of the most beautiful areas in the country, and a vibrant place to live and work. It has excellent transport links and is easily accessible from all other areas by road or rail. There are also international airports an hour's drive north or south from the centre of the county.

The economy was founded on agriculture and tourism, but has since developed a significant number of new industries with many light engineering businesses and industries operating at the forefront of trends in technology.
