Yorkshire is a large county situated in the northeast and northwest of England. In the west lies the big cities of Leeds and Sheffield, there is also the floral city of Harrogate and the elegant city of York. The county contains two national parks (the Yorkshire Dales and the Yorkshire Moors) along with parts of the Peak District. The east coast is home to birds of prey soaring over cliffs, and marks the end of Alfred Wainright’s Coast-to-Coast walk (which starts in Cumbria and ends when you paddle your toes in the waters of Robin Hood’s Bay.
Inland you’ll find the quirky town of Hebden Bridge, home to one of the world’s first Transition Towns, and also a mecca for local artists, musicians and writers (former Poet Laureate hails from nearby, and his first wife the American poet Sylvia Plath is laid to rest nearby).
