Living in
Yorkshire
Yorkshire Energy Park is uniquely positioned within the East Yorkshire region, which connects cities, country towns and coastal communities to create a unique environment with something to offer everyone – whether your career is just beginning or hitting its peak.
And there’s no better time to relocate. Following vast investment in technology and green industries, the region is brimming with opportunities as companies and organisations seek to increase their skilled-professional base to fulfil the growing demand of ever-expanding industries.
The low house prices and cost of living combined with the high quality of life make for the perfect work-life balance, with short commute times, an abundance of scenic areas and bountiful activities to enjoy all year round.
Affectionately known as ‘God’s Country’ by locals, visit Yorkshire and you too will be converted by the stunning scenery, cities steeped in industrial heritage, and charming market towns to explore.
Delightful places to visit in Yorkshire include Beverley, a thriving medieval market town, and historic York where you can admire gothic York Minster cathedral.
Looking for a challenge? Fun things to do in Yorkshire include uphill climbs across the Yorkshire Dales, where you’ll be rewarded by jaw-dropping views, or try your hand at surfing in beach towns like Scarborough. Or simply take a leisurely stroll around cosmopolitan Leeds for museums, galleries and excellent shopping in abundance.
