The Hidden Places of Yorkshire (10th ed.)

The county of Yorkshire is full of scenic, historical and cultural diversity. In the northwest are the picturesque Dales with its varied scenery of peat moorland, green pastureland and scattered wood intersected by the numerous brooks, streams and rivers. To the northeast are the imposing Yorkshire Moors, the rich agricultural Vale of York, the chalky hills of the Wolds and the dramatic storm-tossed coastline. In the South are the industrial and commercial cities and towns, which have made such a major contribution to our industrial and cultural heritage.
