Plan your Yorkshire

How much help do you want?

Ask us one question, get a restaurant recommendation, or hand us the job of planning your Yorkshire days properly. Build what you need and see the price as you go.

Step 01

What do you need help with?

You don't need to buy an itinerary just to ask us something.

Ask us.

One clear question about visiting York or Yorkshire. Tell us what you're trying to work out and we'll give you a useful answer. No charge.

Let us narrow down where to eat.

Tell us where you're staying, what you enjoy, approximate budget and any dietary requirements. We'll give you a short shortlist. No charge.

Step 02

How many days should we plan?

This sets the base planning fee.

Step 03

What sounds like your Yorkshire?

Choose as many as you like.

Step 04

What sort of budget should we plan around?

This does not change our planning fee. It simply helps us choose the right restaurants, attractions and experiences.

Step 05

What pace feels right?

Step 06

Would you like help with accommodation?

We can shortlist three to five places suited to the kind of stay you're looking for. You book and pay the accommodation provider directly.

What sort of place feels right?

Choose the style that sounds most like you.

How close to York centre would you like to be?

What matters most?

Pick any that are important to you.

Step 07

Want us to help with the details too?

These are optional. You still pay restaurants, attractions and other providers directly.

Anything a little less ordinary?

How it works

Tell us about the trip. We’ll do the thinking.

Yorkshire is easy to underestimate. Places that look close on a map can take half a day to explore properly, and some of the best stops are nowhere near the usual visitor lists. We help you make sense of it.

01

Tell us what you like.

Give us your dates, interests, pace and the sort of trip you want. History, food, wild scenery, coast, hidden places, family days or a bit of everything.

02

We plan it properly.

We use local knowledge to put together days that actually work. Realistic timings, worthwhile stops, food suggestions and sensible alternatives where they help.

03

You enjoy Yorkshire.

You receive a clear, personalised plan without spending evenings comparing hundreds of reviews, maps and generic travel lists.

Need less than a full itinerary?

Ask a Yorkshire question or get personalised restaurant recommendations without buying a full planning service.

Explore Yorkshire

Where should you actually go?

Yorkshire is huge. You could spend a week here and barely scratch it. The trick is choosing the places that suit you rather than trying to tick off somebody else’s list.

City

York

Ancient walls, medieval streets, independent food, hidden churches, Roman remains and far more than the Minster and Shambles.

Landscapes

Yorkshire Dales

Limestone country, waterfalls, market towns, ruined castles, tiny villages and some of the finest road journeys in England.

Coast & moors

Whitby, the coast & North York Moors

Gothic ruins, fishing villages, heather moorland, steam trains, dramatic cliffs and roads that suddenly open onto huge landscapes.

History & hidden Yorkshire

Abbeys, castles & the places between

Castle Howard, Rievaulx, Fountains Abbey, Haworth, ancient sites and the quieter places that often become the highlight of the trip.

Yorkshire Concierge
Yorkshire isn’t somewhere I researched for a website. It’s home.

Local knowledge. Personal recommendations. Properly planned days.

About

Yorkshire, from someone who actually lives here.

I’m Kes Webster. I’m a Yorkshireman, born about an hour from York, and I’ve lived in York for more than 25 years. This is where I’ve built my life, raised my family and spent years exploring the places around it.

I also run Highwayman Tours, taking visitors privately across Yorkshire. That means I spend my working days on the roads, in the villages, abbeys, market towns, moors and coastal places people travel here to see.

Yorkshire Concierge grew out of all the questions I’m constantly asked. Where should we eat? Is Whitby worth a whole day? Which part of the Dales should we see? Where should we stay? What can we fit into three days without spending half the holiday in the car?

The aim is simple. Useful local advice without the generic travel-guide feel. I’ll tell you when something is worth your time, when it probably isn’t, and when there’s a quieter or more interesting option around the corner.

Family life is here too. When I’m not working, I’m usually spending time with my family, involved in local football, walking the dog or finding another road, ruin, pub, viewpoint or bit of Yorkshire I’ve somehow managed to miss.

Questions

A few things worth knowing.

If your question is more specific, just ask us.

Yes. Your plan is built around your dates, interests, pace, accommodation and the type of Yorkshire trip you want. It is not a generic itinerary with your name added to the top.

No. You can ask one specific Yorkshire question or request personalised restaurant recommendations without buying a full itinerary.

Yes. We can recommend accommodation based on the kind of stay you want, where you would like to be and what matters to you. We can also help with restaurant recommendations and selected reservation requests.

No. We can make recommendations, check availability and help with selected reservation requests, but tables, hotel rooms, attraction tickets, transport and other third-party services are always subject to availability and the provider's own booking terms. We cannot guarantee that a particular table, room, ticket or booking will be available.

No. Yorkshire Concierge fees cover our planning and concierge work. Hotels, restaurants, attractions, transport and other third-party costs are paid by you directly to the provider.

No. York is home, but we plan trips across Yorkshire, including the Dales, North York Moors, coast, Whitby, Haworth, abbey country, historic towns and the quieter places in between.

Not at all. Highwayman Tours is available if a private driven tour suits your plans, but Yorkshire Concierge recommendations are not dependent on booking a tour.

Yes. A personalised itinerary includes one sensible revision, so if something needs adjusting after you have seen the plan, we can refine it.

Still wondering about something?

You can ask us before committing to a paid plan.
