Across the Wolds: A Design-Led Yorkshire Road Trip

Ditch the city and head north-west into the rolling, David Hockney-approved landscapes of the Yorkshire Wolds. This day-drive pairs sweeping, empty roads with some of the North's best independent food stops, ending with dramatic North Sea views before the sun dips.

TC Patisserie, Beverley

Start your morning in Yorkshire's handsomest market town. Skip the chains and head straight to this unassuming spot for genuinely excellent, flaky croissants that rival Paris. Grab a flat white and take a quick wander past the towering Gothic minster before hitting the road.

Millington Pastures

This is where the drive gets interesting. The road dips and snakes through a dramatic dry valleys landscape that feels entirely hidden from the world. It’s the perfect stretch to appreciate a responsive engine, with plenty of laybys to pull over and breathe in the quiet.

Pipe and Glass, South Dalton

Tucked away in a picture-perfect estate village, this Michelin-starred inn avoids all the stuffy cliches of fine dining. Expect pub classics elevated to an art form—like incredibly crisp pork belly or local game—served in a relaxed, stone-floored dining room. Booking ahead is essential.

Flamborough Head

End your loop where the chalk cliffs crash into the North Sea. Walk the rugged coastal path to see the dramatic arches and, if you're lucky, some resident seals bobbing in the surf. Grab a warming brew from the local kiosk and watch the light fade over the water before the easy drive back to Hull.
