Yorkshire Sketchbook is a unique guide to some of the most popular places in the Yorkshire Dales, the North York Moors & the City of York
- three of the UK`s best-loved tourist destinations. There`s suggested road trips taking in all the featured places & quirky facts about flat caps, Yorkshire pudding, ` On Ilkley Moor Baht`at` & more! It`s easy to scoff when you hear that ` Yorkshire has everything`, especially when said by a Tyke (Yorkshire person) but the more I explore this vibrant & diverse county the more I`m convinced that it`s true. The county is largest in the UK, which helps if you have to fit everything in, but there`s still space to spare for the wild areas where you can walk all day & never meet anybody else. Yorkshire abounds in stunning vistas across rolling fields, hills & beaches. There`s breathtaking rivers, cliffs, dales & moorland to explore. It boasts five national museums, three national parks, three UNESCO sites, a stunning coastline & seven vibrant cities. With Worldclass attractions, historic houses & castles, picturesque villages, fine restaurants, vibrant culture, abundant shopping, cricket, fish & chips & real ale there`s truly something for everyone. The Yorkshire folk I met travelling round were unfailingly friendly, helpful & funny. I never had any problem getting them to talk. Shutting them up was another matter. A book of this size couldn`t possible cover all of the county so it concentrates on the two national parks
- the Yorkshire Dales & the North York Moors. Plus the city of York. Nobody should ever tour North Yorkshire without going to York. The places I`ve chosen to illustrate are my own favourites, some were new to me but the majority I`ve been to before. None of them were a disappointment & I`ll go back to all of them again at the drop of a flat cap. Most are popular tourist destinations so you`ll probably find some of your own favourites amongst them. This book will tell you how you can drive to each place, where you can park, some relevant history & what to look out for.I also hope that it not only informs, but also entertains &, if you`re a visitor, gives you something to enjoy when you`re back home. What it can`t do is provide the unexpected surprise that will stay with you forever. You have to experience those for yourself. I`ve enjoyed many of them on my travels throughout this remarkable county. I do hope you will too.
