Yorkshire is by far the largest county in England, taking up most
of the land area from Sheffield in the south to Cleveland in the
north. Covering such a large area between the North Sea and the
Pennine watershed, the variety of landscapes is astonishing, and in
this book you will get a taste of much of it. Our tour starts in
the rolling, highly urbanised south, then climbs into the Pennines
where high heather-clad moorland is bisected by valleys full of
industrial heritage. Heading north, the landscape transforms into
the limestone pavements and glacial valleys of the Dales where
sheep graze peacefully on high grassland. The central Plain of York
is the next area with its ancient castles and fertile farmland
under a huge sky. To the east rises the scarp of the North
Yorkshire Moors where high moorland and remote valleys stretch all
the way to the gull-strewn North Sea cliffs. Turning south, we
explore the gentle countryside of the Yorkshire Wolds. The final
destination is the banks of the River Humber from the industrial
plain to Yorkshire's furthest outpost at Spurn Head. Doug Kennedy
has roamed Yorkshire's lanes, byways and footpaths, seeking out
what makes each place special and applying his photographer's eye
to capture the scene perfectly in sumptuous photographic images.
These are complemented by informative text that gets underneath the
surface of why things look like they do. It is a book for everyone
who loves the Yorkshire to treasure, and a splendid introduction to
its landscape for those less familiar with 'God's Own County'.
