Yorkshire resident, outdoors enthusiast and travel writer Mike
Bagshaw has thoroughly updated this new third edition of Bradt's
North York Moors & Yorkshire Wolds, part of Bradt's
award-winning series of Slow travel series of guides to UK regions.
It remains the only standalone guide to this region of contrasts.
Walkers, cyclists, wildlife-lovers, families, foodies and culture
vultures will find everything they need to plan and enjoy time
here. From magnificent cliffs and beaches along Yorkshire's
Heritage Coast and rolling hills in the North York Moors (one of
the original nine National Parks of England and Wales) to the
Wolds' tranquil chalk grasslands, this region offers remarkable
variety. Nestled at its heart is York, probably Britain's
best-preserved medieval city, with its stunning Minster, northern
Europe's largest Gothic cathedral. The region is increasingly
popular for outdoors pursuits, which feature strongly in this
guide. The Tour de Yorkshire cycle race has helped establish the
region as a cycling Mecca. Walkers can explore along ten
long-distance footpaths. Sandy beaches, rocky coves, stunning
woodlands and heather-clad moors make the destination ideal for
families keen to immerse children in nature. Whitby has become a
nationally acclaimed centre for whale- and dolphin-watching tours,
while wildlife-lovers can also delight in otters and adders, or
gawp at 'seabird skyscrapers' at Bempton Cliffs, including
England's only breeding colony of gannets, Europe's largest
seabird). This culturally resonant region harbours treats as
diverse as steam train journeys across remote moorland (as featured
in the Harry Potter and Mission Impossible films), local food and
drink (from seafood, meats and cheeses to independent breweries and
gastropubs), the Georgian opulence of Castle Howard (of Brideshead
Revisited fame), the Goth Weekend festival at Whitby (where Count
Dracula made landfall in Bram Stoker's novel), Britain's oldest
seaside resort (Scarborough), the country's tallest standing stone
(Rudston) and even the purported burial site of Beowulf (Boulby
Cliffs). With coverage of places not featured in other guidebooks
and extensive practical detail conveyed in an informative yet
laidback style, plus an emphasis on car-free travel, Bradt's North
York Moors & Yorkshire Wolds is the optimal guide to this
fascinating region.
