Skipton, York and Hull span most of the way across the north of England, these neighbouring destinations making a complimentary set when it comes to culture, food and drink and places to stay. The same is true of shopping in this part of the country: an excellent record shop and independent coffee, groceries and refill store can be found in the charming market town of Skipton, while York’s ancient walls are home to The Little Apple Bookshop and a fantastic antiques centre. In Hull, there are two beautiful Victorian arcades, one of which houses some of the longest-running and best-loved shops in the city, the other of which has been transformed into a hub for emerging independents, restaurants and cafes. To discover more about all of these recommendations, and more, read on.
