Yorkshire ist die mit Abstand größte ehemalige Grafschaft in Nordengland und im Vereinigten Königreich. Wegen ihrer Größe wurden deren Funktionen im Laufe der Zeit immer mehr von Untereinheiten übernommen. Trotz zahlreicher territorialer Veränderungen im Laufe der Jahrhunderte bewahrte sich Yorkshire seine Bedeutung als geografische Bezeichnung sowie als Kulturraum. Yorkshire wird von seinen Bewohnern oft auch als God’s Own County bezeichnet. Die Grafschaft wird durch die Weiße Rose des Hauses York repräsentiert. Diese ist zentraler Bestandteil der Flagge Yorkshires, die am 29. Juli 2008 in ihrer heutigen Form vom Flag Institute offiziell beglaubigt wurde. Der ist ein traditioneller Festtag, an dem die Kultur Yorkshires aktiv vorgelebt wird. Der Name der Grafschaft setzt sich aus der Endung -shire (von englischen shire = „Grafschaft“) sowie aus York, dem Namen der historischen Hauptstadt zusammen. Wörtlich übersetzt bedeutet der Name also: „Der zu York gehörende Teil [Englands]“.

Welcome to Yorkshire | Make Amazing Memories
Discover the best of Yorkshire. Find accommodation, things to do, and events.
yorkshire.com →You might remember Yorkshire.com from its former life as Welcome to Yorkshire. We're about so much more than just a fond hello now. Yorkshire.com is building a complete knowledge graph of Yorkshire — an Operating System for the region. We're not just a tourism website; we're creating a structured, queryable, and comprehensive data layer that powers discovery, planning, and connection across every corner of God's Own County. From walks and cycling routes to bus timetables and train schedules, from hotels and restaurants to events and attractions , from rivers and streams to roads and towns — if it's in Yorkshire, it's in our system. And increasingly, if it's relevant to people in Yorkshire (like London Heathrow Airport for your holiday to Malaga), we'll map it too. The best walks are often the ones in the rain — you remember them more. Like an operating system, we abstract complexity, provide APIs, enable composition, handle relationships, and scale infinitely. Our unified data model means: This unified approach means everything connects. A walk links to nearby hotels. A village links to its local bus routes. A river links to all the places it flows through. It's all one system, all one graph. On 1 March 2022, Welcome to Yorkshire Ltd, which was a Company Limited by Guarantee (a non-profit business that relied heavily on local authority funding), was placed into administration by its board. That company has since gone into liquidation. The Welcome to Yorkshire brand, website, and other assets were purchased out of administration by a group led by a local business called Silicon Dales , who wanted to preserve the brand for the benefit of the Yorkshire community. Several of these assets have been put back into operation under the Welcome to Yorkshire trademark, as part of a new limited company called Yorkshire.com (International) Ltd , which has been operating since September 2022. The new Yorkshire.com is commercially focused, technically ambitious, and built for the future. We're not reliant on public sector funding. We're building a sustainable, scalable business that serves Yorkshire's visitor economy, its residents, and anyone who wants to discover this magnificent place. We're bringing modern technology, data science, and ambitious product thinking to create something unique: a complete operating system for a place. Starting with Yorkshire , because all good things do.
