"The ancient Cathedral City of North Yorkshire" Top 5 Page for this destination Ripon by Landotravel

Directly northwards from Leeds you reach this old and historic town, one of the most important places to visit when being at Yorkshire. From the very beginning you realise you're walking through an ancient place but it seems to be only a peaceful small village until you reach the very center of the place: its astounding cathedral, a leading artwork that really places the town over England's map.

But Ripon soon shows you it is not only that. Some fine medieval houses, the famous Market Square, the Cathedral -of course-, superb Fountains Abbey & Studley Royal estate at the outskirts and many other things turns this charming village into a must-see at North Yorkshire.
