About this deal

The first mosque in the United Kingdom was founded by the convert Abdullah Quilliam in the Liverpool Muslim Institute in 1889. [325] Today, there are around 500 mosques in Northern England. [316] [326] Indian religions are also represented: there are at least 45 gurdwaras, of which the largest is the Sikh Temple in Leeds, and 30 mandirs, of which the largest is Bradford Lakshmi Narayan Hindu Temple. [316] [327] [328] Transport [ edit ] style=”text-align: left;” align=”center”>One of the most important and recognised exhibits is the Peace – Farewell to Arms? It’s an exhibit which ponders the end of all wars and a world without weaponry – imagine, it’s easy if you try. It’s a free museum located just outside of Leeds so it may be a good idea to try out a local hotel, apartment or B&B and really make a weekend out of your city trip.

Cathedrals of the Archbishop of York (Anglican) and Archbishop of Liverpool (Roman Catholic), the highest-ranking church officials in the North. It’s still a fun and friendly place though and has remained one of the UK’s best-loved beach resorts for many decades. Scarborough is known for its two gorgeous sandy bays separated by a headland which the 12th-century Scarborough Castle is located, its Victorian Central Tramway funicular train, its Rotunda Museum, the Scarborough Spa and The Grand Hotel which dramatically overlooks the cliff-tops. 6. The Beatles Story and the rest of Liverpool – a musical mecca and a city that was once hailed the Capital of Culture of the Northern population speak English as a first language – compared to an England and Wales average of 92% [h] – and another 4% speak English as a second language well or very well. [60] [128] The 5% of the population who have another native language are chiefly speakers of European or South Asian languages. At the 2011 census, the largest languages apart from English were Polish (spoken by 0.7% of the population), Urdu (0.6%) and Punjabi (0.5%), and 0.4% of the population speak a variety of Chinese: a similar distribution to that in the whole of England. [128] Redcar and Cleveland has the largest proportion of the population speaking English as a first language in England, with 99.3%. [60] Religion [ edit ] Hadrian’s Wall is one of the best places to visit north England if you want to combine incredible natural scenery, with a spot of iconic English history.Stretching 73 miles from coast to coast, Hadrian’s Wall was built to guard the frontier of the Roman Empire and it’s also a great place to go hiking in England, so dig out your walking boots! This Northumberland tidal island is located off the northeast coast of England and is cut off twice-daily from the rest of the mainland by fast-moving tides. Easily one of the most beautiful islands in the UK Holy Island holds a very important place in religious history. It was where the Christian message was first spread amongst a mostly pagan area and remains a place of pilgrimage even today. The census question on religion has been criticised by the British Humanist Association as leading, and other surveys of religion tend to find very different results. [130] The 2015 British Election Survey found 52% of Northerners identified as Christian (22% Anglican, 14% non-denominational Christian, 12% Roman Catholic, 2% Methodist, and 2% other Christian denominations), 40% as non-religious, 5% as Muslim, 1% as Hindu and 1% as Jewish. [131] Health [ edit ] Life expectancy at birth for boys in 2012-2014 by local authority district in England and Wales. Lighter colours indicate longer life expectancy. Northern England contains much of England's national parkland but also has large areas of urbanization, including the conurbations of Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Teesside, Tyneside, Wearside, South and West Yorkshire.

Another of the places to visit north England is the popular beach-side town, Scarborough has a long and interesting history. Located on the northeast coast of the UK, the town is famous for ice cream, surfing and limestone cliffs. Nestled on a small tidal island off the coast of Northumberland, the holy island of Lindisfarne is beautiful to see.

While, like most of northern England, the weather can be a little unpredictable (take your umbrella), Hebden Bridge is easily one of the best places in the north of England to explore. While here also take time to see one of the most famous Northern cities in England, Liverpool. It’s a big city with a heart and soul and it’s friendliness also gives it a small-town feel. It’s also a lively university town with a fantastic array of nightclubs, bars and quirky eateries.

Built to replace the Playhouse Repertory theatre, the Crucible Theatre is indeed one of the most iconic buildings in Sheffield and hosts many theatre productions along with other sports including table tennis and squash.

Oh yeah, and if you fancy some nightlife, Canal Street is famous for being one of the oldest LGBT+ neighbourhoods in Europe, while the Northern Quarter has loads of trendy bars to explore. Also, for a tasty and juicy steak, pop into Fazenda Rodizio Bar which is totally gorge-worthy. You’ll leave stuffed. Oh yeah, there’s also a shed load of yummy spots to grab a bite to eat, too! From high-end spots to a pint and some fish and chips at the local pub, Liverpool has a spot for everyone.

At the 2016 EU membership referendum, all three Northern England regions voted to leave, as did all English regions outside London. The largest Northern Remain vote was 60.4% in Manchester; the largest Leave vote was 69.9% in North East Lincolnshire. [292] In total, the Leave vote in the Northern England regions was 55.9% – higher than in the Southern England regions and the other Home Nations, but lower than in the Midlands or the East of England. [292] The Eurosceptic UK Independence Party (UKIP) positioned themselves as the main challenger to Labour in Northern constituencies, and came second in many at the 2015 general election. [293] [294] UKIP originally struggled in the region due to vote splitting with the far-right British National Party (BNP), who exploited racial tensions in the wake of the 2001 Bradford riots and other riots in Northern towns. In 2006, 40% of BNP voters lived in Northern England and both BNP MEPs elected at the 2009 European elections came from Northern constituencies. [295] [296] After 2013, BNP support in the region collapsed as most voters swung to UKIP. [297] The Northern UKIP vote in turn collapsed following the EU referendum, with most UKIP voters returning to their former allegiances. [298] Things to do in Saddleworth include taking walks in the hills, going on a canal boat ride and visiting one of Uppermill’s many cafes and restaurants. First off, to get here, you have to pay attention to the tides, each day, the island gets cut off from the mainland when the sea washes over the road. Only ever attempt to travel this road when it is safe to do so as your car can get washed away. You can see the safe crossing times, here. Last year I headed up north for a weekend break in York; our third adventure together in 2018! York is a city with Roman roots and a Viking past. York is one of the oldest cities in England and is undoubtedly one of the best places in the north of England for an adventure. With so many amazing places to visit on your trip to the North of England, the only difficulty is knowing where to choose.Newcastle is a wonderful city with some iconic places to visit in north-west England including the Angle of the North, Newcastle United football club and the Tyne Bridge. Since 1981 the city has hosted theGreat North Run, ahalf marathonwhich attracts over 57,000 runners each year. The wild landscapes of the North are a major draw for tourists, [190] and many urban areas are looking for regeneration through industrial, heritage and cultural tourism: of the 24 national museums and galleries in England outside London, 14 are located in the North. [191] In 2015, Northern England received around a quarter of all domestic tourism within the UK, with 28.7 million visitors in 2015, but only 8% of international tourists to the United Kingdom visit the region. [192] [193] Telecommunications [ edit ] Connecting Cumbria is one of many projects to bring fibre broadband to the North.
