THE YORKSHIRE DALES, so beloved of visitors today, was once remote,
wild and undiscovered, invaded by settlers who left their stories
in scars on the land and hints of their origins in the place names
that remain. As the written word developed, a gradual trickle of
explorers came to view the uncanny and the awesome, from natural
wonder to ransacked abbey. They reported back on their travels and
as word spread, the trickle became a constant stream. This unusual
and beautifully illustrated book gives us a unique window on 600
years of Dales history. Looking through the eyes of contemporary
writers, we can see how perceptions, attitudes and even the
landscape itself have changed over time. What has remained the same
is the grandeur, variety and sheer beauty of this stunning National
Park. Part history, part guide and part joyous celebration, this
unique book will enchant residents and visitors alike.
