UK £8.99
First
published in 1990, this is the 10th edition of
the Hidden Places of Yorkshire
which has an attractive new cover of the ruins
of Whitby Abbey and redesigned
page layouts. Editorially, the new
style has continued Travel Publishing’s
commitment to exploring the more interesting,
unusual or unique places of interest in
Yorkshire. In this respect we would like to
thank the Tourist Information Centres in
Yorkshire for helping us update the editorial
content of the book.
As the title implies, this guide
- a book to be read as
well as used - is dedicated to
promoting the more secluded and little known
places of interest that are easy to miss unless
you know exactly where you are going.
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 woods 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. This handy-sized book is an
invaluable guide to those wishing to explore the
historic county of Yorkshire.
The York and County Press described the previous
edition "as covering every corner of the
county, promising new discoveries and snippets
of information for even the best travelled of
Yorkshire folk." |
