GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This travel guide features the Yorkshire Dales National Park, incorporating Herriot Country, which is thought by many to be the most beautiful and appealing region of Britain. For over two centuries, in growing numbers and with increasing regularity, visitors have been exploring its landscape and enjoying its many and varied attractions and qualities. It is a magical region, living and breathing, possessing different moods and faces, ever changing and thus creating a personal relationship with all those who have been fortunate enough to experience its very special qualities and romantic appeal.
The Pennine Chain, that magnificent backbone of England, is located between the South Pennines and Peak District National Park to the south, and the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to the north. Radiating from and deeply incised into these highlands are numerous beautiful green dales which give name to this region. However, it is interesting to note that although the area is known as the Yorkshire Dales, small sections upon its western fringes are located within the counties of Cumbria and Lancashire. It is a region delimited by the natural boundaries of the physical landscape and lies largely within the administrative borders of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
This guidebook is a phenomenally comprehensive representation of this fantastic region that is loved by millions of people from all over the world. A brief look at the Contents will soon identify the breadth of the detailed coverage. However, as well as the informative sections there are 2 suggested drives and 6 suggested walks, plus an extensive 8 page colour photograph collection.
This guidebook represents excellent value for money.
