WELCOME To Yorkshire has launched a Tea Trail, highlighting Yorkshire’s unrivalled offering of places to enjoy tea.

The trail includes D’Oyly’s Tea Room and Bed and Breakfast at Bolton Percy, York, The Cedar Court Grand Hotel and Spa in York, 17 Burgate in Pickering, Lewis and Cooper in Northallerton, The Black Swan Tea Room in Helmsley, Rudding Park and Hotel du Vin in Harrogate among those listed, as well as Bettys Tea Rooms’ various locations.

The leaflet, complete with map, also features the county’s famed tea companies, producers and includes tea-based recipes from Yorkshire’s Michelin star chefs.

Gary Verity, chief executive of Welcome to Yorkshire, said: “We have some of the best tea to be enjoyed in the best places and this trail is not only a celebration of that, but also a guide.”

Paula Kaye, catering and retail operations manager of Bettys, which is supporting the campaign, said: “It’s really good to hear that the British tradition of taking afternoon tea is being celebrated in the county with the new guide.”
