The task today involved doing a voxpop in Huddersfield. Our
question was to find out where people liked to go on a day out in
Yorkshire. We asked several people where they enjoyed going on their days off.
Simon Garrick, 22 from Pudsey said: “I really enjoy visiting Bolton Abbey, it’s peaceful and quiet and I find the historical aspect interesting.”
Bolton Abbey is tucked away within the Yorkshire Dales on the banks of the River Wharfe. Set in 30,000 acres of countryside there is something for everyone.
Mrs Jean Gee, 65, Leeds said: “I like to go to Huddersfield city centre, the people are polite and there’s more choice of shops.”

with landmarks such as the Lawrence Batley Theatre, to the Huddersfield Town Football Club, there is bound to be something to occupy you.
Rebecca Legg, 30, Huddersfield said: “I have an interest in different walks. I like walking the walls in York, it’s something different and it is fun.”
Take a walk down the shambles, walk across the city walls, or simply gaze in wonder at the cathedral. No matter what your interests, York is bound to provide you and your family with an unforgettable day.
Anne Hardy, 77, Huddersfield said: “I love going to Halifax, I have a friend there and there’s a nice Marks and Spencer, it’s a nice small town and it has a great market.”
The Borough Market in Halifax was erected between 1891 and 1896, this is entirely different from the Piece Hall which was established in 1779.
Alison Booth, 42, Huddersfield said: “For me it’s weather specific but I’m fond of Whitby, I love the timeless feel and old fashioned shops. There’s a bit of everything from York to Brighton and the history is fascinating.”
For many people Whitby is primarily known as the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” but it is also known for the beautiful abbey, the swing bridge and the home of popular event “Whitby Goth Weekend.”
Overall Yorkshire isn’t actually as dull as it may be depicted, whether you’re a sports nut, a nature lover or a simple fan of shopping, there is plenty of things to occupy your time within Yorkshire, you just need to find them.

Well written Nina, I really enjoyed this. You have combined some nice interviews with interesting background information. A couple of small points but we can iron them out in class. Well done. Ruth
