North East

In 2015, the people of The North East, Yorkshire and the Humber were declared the ‘friendliest’ and most ‘neighbourly’ in England. The countryside is varied and jampacked with unique beauty, world heritage sites and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Added into this the fact cities like Leeds and Newcastle are frequently voted the place to be for the best night out in UK, it’s easy to see why the people are in such a good mood.
