Revised 2nd edition. The Yorkshire Wolds are one of Yorkshire and
England's most magical but least known landscapes - dry grassy
valleys through undulating chalk hills, unspoiled villages, a
dramatic coastline, delightful market towns such as Beverley and
Pocklington, and as a focal point, 2017 City of Culture, Kingston
upon Hull. This book provides an insight into the rich history and
culture of the Wolds, a story shaped by saints,
soldier-adventurers, merchants, fisherman, engineers, architects,
farmers, landowners, writers, and in most recent times, England's
greatest living painter David Hockney, whose work has created a
national awareness of the natural beauty and unique landscape of
the Yorkshire Wolds. But this is also a practical guide, with
detailed information and advice on how to explore the area whether
by car, local train and bus, by cycle, horseback or, on foot, with
suggestions on how to reach those special places, that will make a
visit to the Yorkshire Wolds such a memorable experience. "- a
perfect travel companion for those who have decided to visit the
Yorkshire Wolds." - Councillor Caroline Fox. Chairman East Riding
Council. "a pretty but practical introduction to the Wolds -
rolling chalk hills, green valleys, unspoilt towns and villages and
spectacular coastline." Debbie Hall, Hull Daily Mail. "often said
to be the UK's most under-appreciated landscape, the Yorkshire
Wolds has largely been ignored by publishers. Now a major new book
redresses the balance." Roger Ratcliffe, Yorkshire Post "The Many
photographs taken by Dorian Speakman and the authors' are a
delight. The alone whet the appetite for discovery as well as
giving pleasure to the armchair explorer," Keith Wadd, West Riding
