Welcome to Hull
This is a city that has witnessed a dramatic renaissance during the past few years to become a thriving, dynamic and fascinating place to visit - the cobbled streets of the Old Town, museums, unique attractions, redeveloped waterfront, fine public buildings, diverse shops and some of the best theatre and nightlife in the north. The nearby coastline ranges from dramatic cliffs to award-winning beach resorts while inland the naturally beautiful Yorkshire scenery offers gently rolling hills, rivers and woodlands peppered with ancient and picturesque villages.
