Very few folks know how spectacular the English countryside actually is. You should definitely include the following spots and activities in your list.
The Yorkshire Dales Countryside

The Fountains Abbey
There is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Yorkshire Dales called Fountains Abbey. People staying in the cottages next to Fountains Abbey may gain access to the grounds after hours. After all, some of these cottages are part of the National Trust. You can, of course, enjoy your B&B in the Yorkshire Dales and then reach the spot in the morning. Constructed in the 1100’s as a monastery, the remains are still intact. Fountains Abbey is full of paths, lakes, and ethereal beauty.
The Sculpture Park in Wakefield
The Sculpture Park situated close to Wakefield is another amazing tourist spot. When you go there, you will be exposed to a long list of artists’ works. A few names worth mentioning include Barbara Hepworth, Ai Weiwei, Henry Moore, and Anthony Gormley. This park is a great place to spend the day. You will need at least three hours to explore the whole area for free. You only need to pay for parking, which is nominal.
The Hepworth Museum
There is another amazing gallery just six miles away from The Sculpture Park called The Hepworth Museum. It is entirely dedicated to Barbara Hepworth, the British sculptor. If you are an art fan, you must include this spot on your list. Just like The Sculpture Park, The Hepworth Museum is free.
