📉 VISITOR NUMBERS TO YORK ARE FALLING… BUT WHY? 🤔

New figures reveal a worrying decline in visitors to one of Yorkshire’s most popular cities.

🏰 City-centre footfall DOWN 8%

🎟️ Visits to tourist attractions DOWN 17%

🛍️ Parliament Street footfall DOWN 28%

The figures compare the first six months of 2026 with the same period in 2025.

York has always been one of Britain’s favourite destinations, with its historic streets, independent shops, pubs and world-famous attractions.

But are rising prices, expensive parking, crowded streets and the cost of eating out putting people off?

Or is York still one of the best places in Britain for a day out?

💬 We’d love to know what YOU think. Why do you believe fewer people are visiting York? 👇

😊 HAVE YOU BEEN TO BRITAIN’S HAPPIEST PLACE?

Skipton was named the happiest place to live in Britain in 2025 — and it’s not hard to see why!

There’s Skipton Castle, the canal, a traditional market and the Yorkshire Dales right on the doorstep. A lovely town for a wander, a bite to eat or a day out exploring. 🏰🌿
