North Yorkshire is a county in the North East region of England with a strong agricultural history. This is England's largest county and it is arguably one of the most picturesque. Both the serenity of the Yorkshire Dales and the rich history and culture of York make for a wonderful setting for a wedding. And if you’re able to carve out some time either side of the big day, you can head to the Yorkshire coast towns of Scarborough and Whitby - and maybe even get married there. Around 40% of North Yorkshire is covered by national parks, including most of the Yorkshire Dales, so is it any surprise that this part of the country is so beautiful? The county's rich history spans thousands of years, with evidence of human activity that traces back to the Stone Age.
